-If `ng-click` or `ng-dblclick` is encountered, ngAria will add `tabindex` if it isn't there already.
-Even with this, you must currently still add `ng-keypress` to non-interactive elements such as `div`

-should also bind `ng-keypress`.
+If `ng-click` or `ng-dblclick` is encountered, ngAria will add `tabindex="0"` if it isn't there
+already.
+
+For `ng-click`, keypress will also be bound to `div` and `li` elements. You can turn this
+functionality on or off with the `bindKeypress` configuration option.

+For `ng-dblclick`, you must manually add `ng-keypress` to non-interactive elements such as `div`
