Polish Settings UI: Keyboard navigation (w/ tab key) #8768

Description

This is a list of issues we've found when trying to navigate the Settings UI using only the keyboard:

  • On Color Schemes edit page (with a custom scheme open so it's editable) use the tab key to navigate between controls. Press Tab from +AddNew and it will go select nothingness. One more tab will select the Black box. It should probably never select nothingness.
    • It also selects nothingness between Bright White and Foreground. Bright White (Tab) Nothingness (Tab) Foreground.
  • On all pages, it appears that once you tab all the way to Apply in the bottom right corner… you get stuck. I think tab navigation is supposed to be fully circular (going back to the first thing or the most Shift+Tabby thing) and around again.
  • Open SUI. Switch to a TerminalTab. Invoke "open Settings UI" kbd again. Hamburger menu focused.
    • Expected: highlight last highlighted setting
