Building your service using progressive enhancement will:
- ensure your service is robust and of a high quality
- make it more likely your service will work regardless of which browser or device is being used
- mean your service’s most basic functionality will work and meet the core needs of the user
- improve accessibility by encouraging best practices like writing semantic markup help users with device or connectivity limitations to use your service
and arguments against SPA.
Using Escape has some limitations:
- it stops the browser from loading pages
- Escaping performs other functions in the operating system
- Pressing Escape isn’t considered a user interaction:
And Esc is the only keyboard key that doesn’t count as user interaction for the purposes of transient activation.
Why other alternative keys (^ Ctrl, ⎇ Alt, ⌥ Option, ) are not better, because they have tradeoffs.
⇧ Shift is also better. It has also limitations though.

Pour le menu, plaçons le sur une page dédiée,
Pas con: si toutes les pages sont légères et mises en cache, alors la navigation sera tout aussi fluide. Le menu peut très bien être une page en lui-même.
Thoughtful designers lead visitors not only to the answer to their question but to better questions as well.
Rigid hypertext is streetscape and corporate office: simple, orderly, unsurprising. We may find the scale impressive, we admire the richness of materials, but we soon tire of the repetitive view. We enter to get something we need: once our task is done we are unlikely to linger. We know what to expect, and we rarely receive anything more.
