Description

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

  • Activate view header actions (sort, filter, etc.)
  • Navigate cells with arrow keys
  • Change select-property cells
  • Activate column header actions menu
  • Etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the table view component in Focalboard to understand its current cell rendering and event handling. Implement keyboard navigation by adding tabIndex, onKeyDown handlers, and managing focus states for cells, headers, and menus. Start with arrow key navigation and then extend to header actions.
