The arrow key functionality you're referring to is an anti-pattern that comes from a misinterpretation of poorly written WAI-Aria guidance being incorrectly applied to a website's navigation. We don't use the aria menu pattern purposefully. Without going into great detail, the menu pattern is problematic and inadvisable. I'll post a few references for some background https://adrianroselli.com/2017/10/dont-use-aria-menu-roles-for-site-nav.html Carbon UI Shell navigation drop downs should be keyboard operable as a list of anchor links (with tab). |
