 * love the plugin but it has some accessibility issues. you cannot tab to the close
   button and when viewing a video, you cannot use the escape button to close the
   fancybox if you have clicked on the video at all (for example to pause it).
 * is there any way to fix this? we need users to be able to use the keyboard navigation.

 * Hi, you are right. FancyBox is not very accessible… I might be able to apply 
   some small improvements in a future version to fix the tabbing issue.
 * About the video issue, that might be harder to fix since it’s either the video
   player or the browser that prevents FancyBox from ‘hearing’ the esc key press
   🙁

 * Thank you. If you could fix the tabbing issue in a future version that wold be
   fantastic. It might make the not being able to press escape issue not as big 
   a problem.
