Hi @rm1-uiuc ,

What do you suppose the countermeasure for keyboard inaccessibility ?

• Tabindexing seems irrelevant to this issue.
• We might define any keyboard-shortcut using Control key or such, however it seems unintuitive.

If there are no good suggestion, this issue woiuld be better to be closed with [wontfix] tag for now.
