Description
Reported by @jancborchardt
- It doesn’t seem possible to get into any of the menus with only the keyboard: conversation menu in the navigation, menu next to "Start call" button, nor menu for participants
- It’s not possible to reply to messages using the keyboard only: https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/3986
- It’s not possible to switch tabs in the sidebar with keyboard only (enter key not working there)
- avatar menu keyboard / focus not working: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-vue/issues/613

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported keyboard-only failures in the conversation menu, call menu, participant menu, sidebar tabs, and message reply flow. Review the linked issues for reply and avatar-menu context; done means the listed controls can be reached, focused, opened, and operated without a mouse.
