Pages/Apps that don't require the mouse

I want my next projects to be accessbile without using a mouse/pointer. They can be fully navigated using keyboard commands/tabbing. I think this is something that should really become a key focus in the development world; there is no reason for those of us that rely so heavily on our keyboards to not write code that allows others to work/play on the web without the use of a mouse.

Code that is easily handled by a screen reader

I want to be conscientous of writing HTML and CSS that is easily deciphered by screen readers. Using alt text is something that I have not put much emphasis on before, but I would like to now.

Interact with text without a keyboard

Voice commands or on screen keyboards are something that I would like to work with more/apply to my code. I dabbled in this a bit with game time and having an on-screen keyboard.
