Google Blockly recently announced their [keyboard navigation plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@blockly/keyboard-navigation) to support accessibility. I’ve been playing around with the micro:bit makecode editor that’s implemented this functionality. Does anyone know if this will get folded into the arcade editor at any point soon? It would be amazing!

Although I don’t have the technical skills to support anything on the backend, I would be happy to support documentation or any other less fun tasks that need to happen to get this done.

I think there is some? Ctr c, Ctr v works for me usually, and stuff like that. It is probably going to get better as more awareness is raised around this topic. Other than that, all you can probably do is ping a mod. @Richard (I’m sorry)
