A roving tab index is a technique whereby only one collection element is in the sequential tab order and can have focus at any given time (i.e. has a tabindex value of zero). All other elements have a negative tabindex. We can say the collection is now more widget-like, as it takes one TAB key press to enter the widget, and one TAB key press to exit the widget. A user changes the roving tabindex state and focus by using the ARROW keys.
