A feed card cost ~10 Tab stops, so the tenth card sat ~135 Tabs from the top of the page, and the
only keyboard focus ring (a 60% accent outline on the thumbnail) all but vanished on the dark glass.
First slice of the E11 keyboard layer (S4a); Home, Plex and the tables follow in S4b/S4c.
- `lib/listNav`: one window listener over every registered list, walked in document order. `j`/`k`
step item to item (on into the next list — owner decision D4), the arrows move around a grid, Enter
clicks the item's own `data-nav-open` element, so it opens exactly like a click. An item root is
never a Tab stop: it gets `tabindex=-1` only while the keyboard is on it, and keeps it until the next
item takes it, so the player's focus restore lands back on the card. The first `j` takes the first
card you can see, not the top of the list.
- `VirtualGrid` takes part with `keyboardNav` (column count + scrolling an unmounted row in);
`VirtualFeed` turns it on, so the feed, the library and the channel page all have it.
- Keymap: two-step sequences (`g h`) whose pending step belongs to the scope that started it; the
page-level scopes (`page`, `search`, `list`) are quiet while a layer that owns the keyboard is open,
enforced in `dispatch`. A test pins the owner's rule that none of them needs a modifier on the
Hungarian layout.
- `g h/f/c/p/x/n/m/d/s/,` jump to a module this account can reach; `s` focuses the header search box
and selects the old query; Escape in it hands the keyboard back to the page (Plex's typeahead spends
its first Escape on its panel).
- Hover popovers are passive layers: an open tooltip still takes Escape first but no longer silences
the page keys.
- Focus ring (owner decision D2 = B): solid 2px accent around the whole item; the app-wide button/
link/row ring goes from 60% to solid too. The item keeps a transparent resting outline because the
video card transitions `all` — without it every `j` flashed a 3px white ring (measured in Chrome).
- Help sheet: the new keys, in a fixed order after the surface's own; a `g` chord only for a reachable
module; opened over a player or dialog it leaves out the page-level keys and the context-menu key,
which nothing can reach there (the latter pre-existing since E10).
- CLAUDE.md: a canonical-patterns row for list/grid keys (`useListNav` + `navItemAttrs` +
`data-nav-open`, not a private arrow-key handler).
Ships the E5 sprint stack (S1–S7): field-scoped Plex search + typeahead, cast &
crew pages, the HU-overlay Hungarian metadata + language-aware serving, the
IMDb/audience rating split, the toolbar relocation, and the narrow/mobile header
fix — plus the underlying Plex-module refactors (feedquery/plex.cards/plex.query
extraction, db.query→2.0 select).
- VERSION 0.65.2 → 0.66.0
- releaseNotes.ts: 0.66.0 user-facing entry
- prettier-format the E5-touched frontend files (release hygiene)
Merged main (0.65.2 download-gc hotfix) in first; no code conflicts (E5 is
Plex-only, the hotfix was notifications/downloads).
- Reset `hi` on Escape and gate `activeOptionId` on `open`, so a dismissed
panel never exposes an aria-activedescendant pointing at an unmounted option,
and no stale highlight flashes on reopen (live-verified: aria-activedescendant
is null when nothing is highlighted / the panel is closed).
- Strengthen the reopen test: setQ now writes back to the mock provider's q, so
the test asserts a FRESH suggest query fires on retype (q="matrixx"), not just
that a cached listbox re-appears.
- Add a combobox-ARIA test: role=combobox, aria-expanded toggles with the panel,
and aria-controls associates the input with the listbox it opens.
Suite 171 green; typecheck + eslint clean.
- Decouple the typeahead's dismiss from real focus: a separate `dismissed`
flag (set on Escape/pick, cleared on typing/refocus) replaces manually
clearing `focused`, so closing the panel no longer wedges it shut while the
input keeps DOM focus — typing again re-opens it (verified in-browser).
- Scroll the highlighted option into view during arrow-key nav (listRef +
data-idx + scrollIntoView), instead of leaving listRef unused.
- Wire the input as a combobox for screen readers: role=combobox,
aria-autocomplete/expanded/controls/activedescendant + per-option ids.
- Drop the redundant client-side .slice (the request already caps at limit=10).
- SearchBar gains an `inputProps` passthrough for the combobox ARIA.
- Add PlexSearchBox.dom.test.tsx (4 tests): per-scope pill options, suggestion
render + keyboard pick→jumpTo, and the Escape→retype reopen regression.
Reviewer's scrollbar-blur concern was a false positive — the listbox container
is not focusable, so a mousedown on it never blurs the input.
