Description
Migrated from https://github.com/WICG/spatial-navigation/issues/120
Originally created by @frivoal on Wed, 17 Oct 2018 05:21:10 GMT
Previously in #70, we discussed whether window.navigate() was a great name for this API or not. It seems like it could be confused with navigating to a new URL, so some better name would be good.
However, no suggestion so far seems to work:
focusNavigate()or other names invoking focus are wrong, because it can also scroll things instead of focusing themdirectionalNavigate()orspatialNavigate()or similar are also problematic, because this method should be possible to extend to sequential navigation by passing it a"prev"or"next"argument, and that does not work with such names.
So, leaving this issue open to see if we can do better.
