Toolbar.

A focused home for related tools.

Toolbar uses roving focus to reduce Tab stops. Preserve the roles of links, inputs, buttons and separators inside it.

Composition

Anatomy

Toolbar owns roving focus. Use its Button, Link and Input parts to participate in that behavior, and a visible or accessible name. Use ordinary buttons when ordinary Tab stops are intended.

Component structure

├── Toolbar.Group → Toolbar.Button / Toolbar.Link
├── Toolbar.Separator

Styling tokens

Change Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.

TokenPurpose
--dixy-primitive-gapThe component-specific starting point.
--dixy-font-label-mdControl label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs.
--dixy-color-background-selectedSelected surfaces use semantic color across appearances.
--dixy-color-border-focusFocus indication remains visible independently of shadows.
--dixy-spacing-inset-smDensity-aware component padding.
--dixy-motion-transition-feedbackShort state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting.

Accessibility

Toolbar uses roving focus to reduce Tab stops. Preserve the roles of links, inputs, buttons and separators inside it. Provide meaningful names and verify the complete interaction with a keyboard. Color alone must not communicate state.

Tab / Shift + TabMove through the available controls.
Arrow keys / SpaceUse the primitive’s directional or activation behavior where applicable.

Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.

THE THINKING BEHIND IT

Build it. Then understand it.

Toolbar uses roving focus to reduce Tab stops. Preserve the roles of links, inputs, buttons and separators inside it. Component aliases reference Dixy semantic tokens; refs, events and render composition are forwarded unchanged.
