Define Keyboard Interactions for Browsing and Editing Tables

[ghislaineguerin]

Problem

Keyboard interactions need to be defined for all possible table interactions (including checkboxes, dropdowns, calendars, and other input types).

Proposed solution

We need to create a document with a set of guidelines for the keyboard user interface of Mathesar that will describe the following interactions:

• Navigating table content in a logical order (cells, fields, rows)
• Interacting with table UI elements (menus, dialog boxes)
• Displaying tooltips
• Shortcut keys
• Selection, extending selection, multi-selection (linear and not linear)
• Auto-completion
• Data input
• Consistency with other apps and accessibility

Additional context
