Keyboard navigation in Selection Colors (Tab/Shift+Tab)


richy

Hi, selection colors is a really great feature! One thing that could be improved though is keyboard navigation. Probably a low-hanging fruit:

As a user, I’d love to go through several colors and change them, using the keyboard. I can navigate the color fields using Tab/Shift+Tab. But if I change a color value, keyboard focus position is lost shortly afterwards.

What should happen:
I select the first color value field, change it, press Tab (twice, to skip over the opacity field) to focus the next color value field, change it by typing or pasting a new color value, press Tab (twice), …

What actually happens:
I select the first color value field, change it, press Tab once → Opacity field is in focus, press Tab a second time → Keyboard focus is moved out of the property panel to the canvas, next Tab changes what I have selected on the canvas.

I’d also really love to be able to assign my color variables directly from the color value input field, auto-complete search style. But that’s a different topic and probably a much bigger ask.

Thank you!
