@maxliqd tabbing is only for interactive elements, depending on your OS the controls differ slightly but see below for a rough outline or look up how to navigate without a mouse using your OS
Tab: The focus should move through all interactive elements on the page e.g. links, buttons
Shift + Tab: Same as tab key, but reverse order
Enter/Return: Follows a link, activates (presses) a button
Spacebar: Toggles checkbox values, activates buttons
Arrow Keys: Scrolls content, moves/selects radio buttons within a group, sometimes moves between interactive menu items or tab panels
Arrow Keys + Alt: Navigate through non interactive content

@phillimorland Thank you! Fearing I might just not test it correctly once again: I can alt-arrow-key myself to the headlines now, but I don't get my screenreader to read the alt texts yet: https://stage.liqd.net/de/test-max-text-page/

@maxliqd that sounds like an issue. I just tested on chrome using vox SR and can hear the alt texts so can you add which browser and SR you are using to the issue we will look into it, also maybe you can check with other browser and see if it's different? cheers!

It is indeed easier with the chrome extension. Getting this from voice over:
