Description

Keyboard navigation is needed in general. This issue tracks the need to be able to use the sidebar with just a keyboard. E.g.

  • Select board to view
  • Activate board actions menu
  • Add new board
  • Settings menu
  • Etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the sidebar component structure and implement keyboard navigation using arrow keys, Enter, and Space for actions like selecting a board, opening menu, etc. Refer to WAI ARIA best practices for menu navigation.
