Definition:

Keyboard Trap: A keyboard trap restricts keyboard users to a small part of page or makes them unable to move away from an element using the keyboard.

Tips:

For a trap to exist, it must be present whether you are navigating forward (TAB) or backward (SHIFT + TAB) through the page.
In case of a keyboard trap, continue to test interactive elements after the trap by using the mouse to bypass the trap or refreshing the page and using the keyboard to navigate backwards through the page.
Indicate the first and last element that create the trap.
