VE SymbolList buttons: Improve keyboard navigation
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Another issue found is that currently, keyboard navigation only allows users to move through the entire block of buttons. Each button should be individually accessible using keyboard navigation instead.

I agree in principal although in practice the list usually has around 3,000 buttons, so is not really usable with keyboard navigation anyway. Building an accessible special character inserter is a project of its own, but note also that every button in that list effectively has a keyboard shortcut alternative the form of "alt+<character code>" or whatever the sequence is on your OS, so it may not be our place to do so.
