Description

Environment

  • Package version(s): core v5.9+

Feature request

Follow-up to Overlay2 PR https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/pull/6656

We should try to use the react-focus-lock library to replace a bunch of bespoke focus management code dealing with focus traps and document event handlers.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current focus management code in the overlay component and research how to replace it with react focus lock by reviewing the library's API and examples.
