I'm starting work on a new proposal that extends focusgroup with 2D directional navigation and more author control over nested interactive content. If that sounds useful, please take a look and share your feedback! Very open to thoughts and suggestions!! open-ui.org/components/f...

focusgroup has shipped in chromium 150! developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-... Its been a long time coming, glad to have been able to get this out the door! Also note that there polyfill ready to go: www.npmjs.com/package/@mic...

Blink: Intent to Ship: Focusgroup

Omigosh, the abandoned `focusgroup` attribute proposal is revived and improved! developer.chrome.com/blog/focusgr... I'm *so excited* for this, it's a common and super useful behavior that is *absolute trash garbage* to implement yourself. *Plus* it gives you some common ARIA mappings for free!

Initial prototype of a `<toolbar>` element is coming along. Largely piggybacks off the focusgroup code so it's actually quite simple to do. Lots to discuss and tweak before it's finished but got to start somewhere.

This demo doesn't use a single line of JS code to respond to the arrow keys. Movement of the player is handled 100% by the upcoming `focusgroup` HTML attribute! Focusgroup was definitely *not* made for this 😅 But, so cool to have this out of the box on the web. More ➡️ open-ui.org/components/s...

Making keyboard navigation effortless. Introducing focusgroup. Focusgroup is a new HTML attribute, with early support in Edge, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers, that completely handles arrow key navigation within complex widgets. No JS needed! ➡️ blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20...
