  • What keyboard shortcuts should be used for handle selection and movement?
  • How to ensure keyboard navigation remains accessible and intuitive?
  • Should we support arrow key navigation between handles?

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by resolving the open questions about focus switching, handle selection, keyboard shortcuts, and arrow-key behavior, then define an accessible, intuitive interaction model for multi-handle ranges. Done should include agreed behavior and a clear implementation and testing scope.
