Updates
This PR makes updates to ensure that aria-disabled menu items are arrow-key navigable.
We discovered that a
menuitem
witharia-disabled="true"
cannot currently be accessed with arrow key navigation, and can only be accessed through tab navigation. Even witharia-disabled="true"
, the menu item should be reachable with arrow key navigation.In the following video, I navigate through an example I've added to
index.html
with a menu item that includesaria-disabled="true"
. I am able to navigate through it using arrow key nav.Screen.recording.of.navigating.aria-disabled.true.mov
