Idea #22983
openKeyboard navigation in Data Explorer
Description
With the tabbed view now applied universally in Workbench in #22793, the prospect of keyboard navigation becomes more feasible and desirable. It would dramatically increase the accessibility and speed of using Workbench, and would likely solve some UX issues before they are reported.
Put simply, the left/right arrows will switch tabs and the up/down buttons will navigate the rows of the data table. Space bar will click the checkbox of the highlighted row and enter will navigate to the highlighted resource (same as clicking on the name of the resource).
In the few cases where one set of tabs is nested in another (the Process/Outputs tab, e.g.), the existing behavior of using tab to switch to the next set of tabs and shift+tab to move back is probably enough, especially since this is what is already used as an accessibility measure.
There could also be a command to open the context menu on the highlighted item, where the up/down buttons could select a menu item.
