Description
Dear Redoc Team,
We have an accessibility-related request concerning your library. Our goal is to make OpenAPI specifications more accessible to individuals with disabilities. With the current version redoc@2.1.2, we have noticed that it is possible to navigate between endpoints using tabs for forward and backward navigation. However, we are encountering difficulties when attempting to navigate using the spacebar, as it does not take us to the desired position.
We are interested in knowing if you already have plans to address this accessibility issue in a future version of your library.
Thank you in advance for your support and look forward to a positive response.
Best regards,
Saskia

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. First reproduce the keyboard-only navigation behavior in Redoc 2.1.2 and clarify the expected result of pressing Space; done should mean the menu can be navigated as intended without a mouse and the behavior is covered by a test.
