      Description

      related to WCAG 2.1 level A criteria 2.1.1: Keyboard
      https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#keyboard

      Make nuxeo-data-table usable with keyboard only. Means we should have a strategy to browse between rows.

      Location:

      • Data rows in the table (Checkboxes, Title, and Last Contributor column links)

      Note: Even though tabindex="0" and "href" are present on the elements, the keyboard focus doesn't enter the elements after the "Last Contributor" sort icon button.

      Recommendation to fix
      RULE :
      Functionality MUST be available using the keyboard, unless the functionality cannot be accomplished in any known way using a keyboard.

      HOW TO FIX:
      Fix this issue by ensuring the component can be used by the keyboard OR by providing a conformant alternate functionality method for the action

      BACKGROUND:
      Some people cannot use a mouse due to vision or motor disabilities. Content that can be operated with a mouse must also be made operable with a keyboard. When content is operable through a keyboard, it becomes operable by a variety of assistive technologies such as speech input software, sip-and-puff software, on-screen keyboards, scanning software, and alternate keyboards.
