Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Select a vertical or horizontal frame
- Press tab
- See that nothing happens
Tab works on elements within frames (which are selectable via the 'Select next element in score' shortcut, Alt/Opt + Right arrow).
🚨 Note that once this is fixed, we should check that navigation order is correct for the properties of frames too.
