Description

Make the extension work with keyboard input:

  • make keyboard focus visible
  • allow closing modals with esc
  • prevent tabbing outside of modals or into hidden elements
  • to not move or loose focus when interacting
  • buttons and other elements should follow common input patterns (space/enter, cursor keys, escape etc.)
  • probably forgot some points otomh

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the extension's component structure, then implement keyboard focus visibility, escape to close modals, focus trapping, and proper event handling for buttons (Space/Enter, arrow keys, etc.). Use browser developer tools to test focus order and ARIA attributes.
