Scrolling areas keyboard users can't reach

Lighthouse / axe call it: Scrollable region must have keyboard access

Who it leaves out: people who can't use a mouse

How to fix it

One attribute per box. Developer task.

In the code

Add tabindex="0" to the scrollable container so keyboard users can reach its content.
