Bruce Lawson ✅ ♫ ♿ ✌️♂️✊This is pretty exciting. Request for developer feedback: focusgroup. "The focusgroup HTML attribute is a proposed declarative way to add keyboard arrow-key navigation to composite widgets such as toolbars, tablists, menus, listboxes, etc. without writing any roving-tabindex JavaScript. One attribute replaces hundreds of lines of boilerplate." https://developer.chrome.com/blog/focusgroup-rfc
(Also, kudos to the Microsoft Edge team and the Open UI Group for their work on this. Darwin knows, I give Microsoft a lot of grief for their management's antics, but I have a whole lotta love for their web platform team.)

The world isn't back & white, so aren't the people in a company.
So I dare to say that, in all honesty, on Windows Edge is a high quality browser (with CoPilot turned off).
Not the best of course ;).
eddie@brucelawson Sounds pointless. One can already move between input fields without javascript with the Tab key. With Vivaldi you can also navigate between links with shift + arrowkey.
Any issue in the examples on that page are a page-design issue.
Luke@dreddie @brucelawson there's many patterns where tabbing through all the items isn't desirable. This allows you to skip past whole areas like toolbars without needing to tab into every single item.
