Could the Dropdowns get some keyboard accessibility?

Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing:

I navigate the web primarily using my keyboard (repeated stress injury problems). I expected the dropdowns on the “create a new project” screen to have the same keyboard interactions as a regular <select> tag, but it does not.

  • When the dropdown has focus, [space] should open and close the dropdown.
  • [up] and [down] keys should be able to traverse the options.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upon loading the screen, navigate to the dropdown using [Tab].
  2. Try using space to open the dropdown.
  3. Open the dropdown using a mouse or whatever. Try pressing up/down to flip through the options.

Browser version: Google Chrome (Version 84.0.4147.105) on macOS

Hi @anon44357435 :wave:t3:

These shortcuts are available on existing projects, but you’re correct they’re not working while creating a new project. This is an expected behavior, but certainly something we could improve in the future. I’ve moved your post to our #productfeedback category to allow other community folks to vote for this feature to be implemented and I’ll be sure to keep you posted as soon as I have an update!
