Description

When opening the Ert user interface, nothing seem to be selected by default.

This would be nice, since users could use arrow keys for selecting simulation modes or tab for changing to other ui elements.

Ui elements do not seem to respond to tab-button like they usually do in user-interfaces.
Other buttons like ESC and Enter work sporadically.

Research direction

No file, test, or UI entry point is named in the issue. Reproduce the Ert UI behavior first, then locate the code responsible for focus, tab navigation, arrow-key selection, Enter, and Escape handling; done means these controls work consistently for the relevant UI elements.
