Description

Version: 1.60.0-insider Commit: e7d7e9a9348e6a8cc8c03f877d39cb72e5dfb1ff Date: 2021-09-01T10:39:32.559Z Electron: 13.1.8 Chrome: 91.0.4472.164 Node.js: 14.16.0 V8: 9.1.269.39-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 18.7.0

Steps to Reproduce:

Open VS Code and create a new untitled file. Tab over to try to click on the "Select a language" action and the hint disappears. Can we make this action keyboard focus-able?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the VS Code editor hint code, focusing on how the 'Select a language' action is rendered. Check if the element has a tabindex and ensure it can receive keyboard focus. Look in the 'workbench/contrib' or 'src/vs/workbench/contrib/editorHint' directory.
