Research direction
The issue requests keyboard navigation for the carousel, referencing an external Stack Overflow example. Explore the carousel component's existing methods (e.g., advancePage, goToPage) and add keydown event listeners for arrow keys. Look at the component's mounted or created hook to attach listeners. Consider only activating when the carousel is focused or using a global listener. Check comments for any partial implementations or maintainer guidance.
