Description

Keyboard navigation is needed in general. This issue tracks the need to be able to use the board view / editor with just a keyboard. E.g.

  • Activate viewHeader actions (sort, filter, etc.)
  • Select card
  • Open card
  • Etc.

More complex actions:

  • Select multiple cards (shift+arrow)
  • Move card(s) to different columns
  • Etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement keyboard navigation for the board view, focusing on arrow keys, tab, and enter for activating actions, selecting cards, etc.
