Steps to reproduce:
I don't know what's the best behavior here, it probably needs some explicit focus management to decide which element should respond to the arrow keys.

@Nirzar out impression is that the arrow keys shouldn't interact with the 3D UI, as they're reserved for MediaViewer. However, what approach would you like to take? Add a D-pad to the UI, with potential key bindings (e.g., Vim)? Or do nothing?
It would seem in any case we probably need to remove the left arrow key binding in 3D.
...depending on approach we may be talking here about upstreaming some fixes or enhancements.
Example of a visual d-pad on a 3D object for reference: https://grabcad.com/library/raspberry-pi-case-3
Per discussion with @Nirzar key bindings for 3D should be disabled and the default key bindings for Media Viewer should be in force. A d-pad is in the works and the buttons on that will be operable with the keyboard.
Upon further discussion, @Nirzar to provide guidance on alternative key-mappings, probably using COMMAND/CTRL depending on platform.

@Nirzar what a11y treatment do we want for this for users who do not work with mice for such interactions?
We need to add keyboard shortcuts for and zooming.
cmd + arrow keys for rotate. people without mice and trackpads should be able to interact with objects.
I did work on a treatment to display the shortcuts but I was trying to figure out the trigger to do so.
Thanks, @Nirzar. @MarkTraceur is this technically feasible on the critical mass of desktop UAs?
that was the idea.. sorry I'm not being super clear about design spec here because it was still WIP and we decided to keep this as a non-blocker but if people are interested in this I can fill in more details in the task description
@Nirzar if it isn't too much time to fill in the details, yes, that would be nice - thanks!
