Hi all,
We’re integrating Blockly v13.0.0-beta.3 with @blockly/continuous-toolbox and wanted to sanity-check the keyboard navigation behavior before filing any open Git issues.

When navigating toolbox categories with the keyboard, Up/Down auto-selects each category and updates the flyout. But when we try to move focus into the blocks for the selected category, such as with **Right Arrow** or **Enter**, focus lands on the first block of the entire flyout instead of the first block near the selected category.

A few questions:
1. Is this expected for `continuous-toolbox`, since the flyout is one continuous list?
2. Are there any v13 registration steps, or hooks we may have missed?

Environment:
Blockly: 13.0.0-beta.3
@blockly/continuous-toolbox: 7.0.8
Device: MacOS Chrome browser

Happy to file an issue against `blockly-samples` if this looks like a plugin bug.

Thanks!

Hi,

We haven't yet updated any of the plugins in blockly-samples for compatibility with v13, so while that behavior isn't intended I'm not surprised that's how it's currently behaving. We do intend to update the plugins, but that will likely be as a fast follow after the final/non-beta release of v13. With this issue in particular, I'd say you can safely assume that we'll fix the continuous-toolbox plugin to focus the first block in the selected category on right arrow, and proceed with verification testing assuming that that bug is something that we'll address and not something that you need to work around yourself.
