# Apple HIG: Map user actions to input and alternatives
Use this family to select and compose topic procedures. Infer the platform and
requested work from the supplied project; preserve its framework and constraints.
## Work through the decision
1. Identify the action and available hardware/input context, then enter the keyboard, pointer, focus, eyes, gestures, controller, Pencil, Crown or sensor procedure.
2. Preserve reserved system gestures and familiar input meanings. Separate targeting, focus, selection and activation; define feedback and reachable alternatives for the actions people must complete.
3. Account for comfort, precision, fatigue and switching between available inputs. Custom inputs should not remove an accessible route to an essential action.
4. Deliver an action-to-input mapping, focus/selection states and observable verification scenarios. Keep code/static observations separate from physical comfort, eye/hand and hardware checks.
## Enter the topic procedure
Read the selected topic’s SKILL.md before its supporting guidance. For a review,
inspect actual evidence and return findings; for an implementation request, make
the authorized change; for design or adaptation, produce a usable specification
or patch. Load related topics only when the chosen procedure calls for them.

## Completion evidence
Report the concrete decisions or changes, their source support, and which checks
passed, failed or were not executed. A source citation or a list of links is not
the requested work product. Retain platform exceptions and unresolved source
conflicts; the absence of a platform subsection does not establish support.
