Description

Hi,

While the key based navigation is awesome, it creates some annoying side effects when you have a textbox or multiple instances of the Timeline on one page.

So I would like to be able to events to be scoped to the instance or to disable them altogether

Research direction

Start by locating the keypress handling and Timeline instance setup in the JavaScript source. Trace how navigation events reach textboxes and multiple Timeline instances, then determine the configuration needed to disable them or scope and rebind them. Done means both requested controls work without unwanted navigation side effects.
