a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying
function requires input that depends on the path of the user's movement and not just the endpoints.”

Ensure that all functionality that is available to users via a mouse is also available via a keyboard. The user shouldn't have to time their keystrokes to a certain pattern.
Exception: Where the system requires the user to make an input based on the path of their movement; for example: when you draw your signature.
