How to set up and validate locally
Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
- Open a board
- Tab to focus on a list card
- Once focused within a list, navigate via arrow keys
- Open an item using Enter (should be same as clicking the card)
- Tab still allows focusing inner elements (should not be focus trapped)
