Spatial navigation support
Opened this issue · 0 comments
The WICG has a spec proposal for spatial navigation, which allows DPAD / arrow key navigation on websites: https://wicg.github.io/spatial-navigation/. I think having spatial navigation would improve the experience a lot over the current cursor control mechanism.
I tried out their polyfill and chrome extension on desktop, and both of them worked reasonably well, it navigated to the elements I am expecting about 80-90% of the time. There are very rare cases where I cannot reach a particular element no matter which direction I press. This can be worked around by combining the two control mechanisms, using short clicks for spatial navigation, and press-and-hold for moving the cursor like it does today.
Personally I feel that this feature is a really good fit for TV Bro. Is this something that you will be interested in?
