      Hello!

      Today as a teacher in Moodle, I can only click the words in the Course Index.

      Tomorrow, as a teacher, I'd love to be able to click anywhere in the background of an item in the Course Index and have that also open the item.

      Thanks for considering!

      Technical shaping

      The course index implements a tree structure that follows WAI tree accessibility specifications. This may introduce some restrictions regarding which elements are clickable or not. The current implementation has two clickable elements:

      • The section chevrons
      • The items name itself (sections or activity names)

      Capturing the background click may break the accessibility. However, even if capturing the background click is not possible, what is possible for sure is to enlarge the element width to fill the item. Technically, they are two different solutions, but from a user perspective, they should not be that different.
