Description

What do you think about adding focus event listener for non-mouse users? I'm undecided myself if this is a good idea but I was thinking of ways to make this accessible. The problem with a focus listener is that a user tabbing through items on the page would trigger everything as they navigate with the keyboard.

Thoughts? Concerns?

Great idea by the way!

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing mouse-event perimeter behavior in the repository and compare it with keyboard focus navigation. The issue does not name files or tests; first establish the intended focus behavior and acceptance criteria, including whether tabbing should trigger perimeter responses without causing unwanted effects.
