Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Once you open the calendar via the global shortcut, you can only see it :)
Describe the solution you'd like
Would be wonderful if it was possible to navigate it with the keyboard as well. Change to other days via arrow keys, then tab to the left panel, up/down to navigate between appointments, and enter to open one of them.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The keyboard shortcut still requires a mouse to interact with the applet, so it's 50% useless.
Additional context
- Cinnamon version 5.6.5
- Distribution Mint 21.1

Research direction
Start with the calendar applet opened via the global shortcut and trace how it currently receives focus and handles keyboard events. Verify navigation across days, the left panel, appointments, and opening an appointment with Enter; done means the calendar can be used without the mouse as described.
