Description

To improve keyboard accessibility, when the bearing control button is active, I think the arrow keys should change bearing and pitch, similar to shift+arrow keys when the map is active.

Research direction

Start at the bearing control button and trace the existing shift+arrow keyboard handling used when the map is active. Confirm the expected arrow-key behavior for bearing and pitch, then add coverage showing that the active bearing control responds correctly.
