Description

Describe the bug
Repro steps:

  1. Go to redocly demo
  2. Shrink browser window until arrow button appears
  3. Tab through page

Expected behavior
The up/down arrow buttons are focusable.

Actual behavior
The up/down arrow buttons are not focusable.

Additional context
I filed a keyboard accessibility issue before (#2283) - let me know if I should combine all accessibility issues I found.

Is there already a way to configure these buttons to be accessible?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Redocly demo by shrinking the browser until the up/down arrows appear, then tab through the page. Locate the implementation of those small-view arrow buttons and make them reachable by keyboard focus. Done means both buttons receive focus during normal tab navigation and the behavior is verified against the reported steps.
