Description

Is there any way to disable keyboard navigation (using arrow keys when tabs focused)
PS: i just want to disable it because of its different behaviour under different browsers.

Shortly - i need to render all <li> without tabindex.... its impossible now

reason - It throws Focus from active tab to body from ported modal after "tab" key (chrome only)

Research direction

Reproduce the Chrome behavior described in the issue and compare it with other browsers. Done means the requested navigation behavior can be disabled without breaking tab focus or accessibility.
