[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 100898] Sidebar decks with controls without a content panel title are unattainable with keyboard

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100898

--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
@Jay, your understanding is correct (@Hieko is a bit misguided, sorry) but we
have to keep it consistent. TAB should remain a restricted control on the
Sidebar.

Each Deck of the Sidebar has (or should have) a Title -- it should be focusable
to allow reaching the "Close deck" button on the title bar.

Likewise each Content Panel present in the Deck should have a Title -- it also
should be focusable to reach the "More Options" button on the content panel.

So for navigating the Sidebar Deck -- for each Content Panel we must
consistently instrument the .UI packing so that <TAB>, <Shift><TAB> alone cycle
between *controls* within the CONTENT Panels--*once reached*. And the issue
here is that you can't reach the slide transitions list without a mouse click.

Also cursor <DOWN> or <RIGHT>, <UP> or <LEFT> alone traverse the buttons/lists
elements within each content panel. 

<ENTER> is the selection action (corresponding to a mouse click).  

Presently, movement *between* the content panels is only possible with cursor
<DOWN>, <RIGHT>, <UP> or <LEFT> *by cycling with TAB/<Shift><TAB> focus back to
the Content Panel title*--this is correct. 

Unfortunately with no title (or ability to focus to the title) and you can't
move to the other content panels on the deck.

Provide the titles, make them focusable--it all works correctly then.

Enhancement for keyboard navigation would be to provide shortcut/mnemonic
accelerator to each Content panel and TabBar (bug 85402)
