Desired behavior

Currently the formula editor is working but it can use some enhancements ITO a11y.
for example the amount of "Tab"s that will have to be pressed for keyboard navigation users to browse the whole formula options is concerning:

A suggested solution was: What if we add a way for users to tab navigate through different categories too? Since there are lots of formulas in the menu, having to reach the last option for example will exhaust a user who can only use a keyboard to navigate ALOT.
So if we can add like press "tab + 1" to go explore the elements in category 1,
press "tab + 2" to go explore the elements in category 1,
press "tab" to just move to the next clickable element in general (I'm not suggesting we eliminate the default expected behavior, I'm suggesting adding an extra feature that would be nice to have along with )
We will have to add like small text to illustrate that this is possible.

Other thoughts that were shared about this by @marcellamaki too were:
"thinking about accessibility, but also the mobile experience. And also, if we want to prioritize some basic (or even more common) formula editors to place at the top, and then follow the same categorization we see for subsequent sections."

Current behavior

  • The formula editor is working fine

Value add

Will benefit mobile experience and enhance a11y
