Expose coordinates as fields for accessibility

Problem/Motivation

It isn't obvious that one can set Focal Point coordinates using only keyboard controls. Fine motor control and good vision are both necessary to reposition the crosshairs over a small thumbnail or to double-click on the crosshair to expose the field (and there are no visible instructions saying that's how that works).

Proposed resolution

Make it more obvious to keyboard users that they can change the Focal Point x and y coordinates without using a mouse.

Remaining tasks

  1. Move the coordinates field directly after the crosshair which performs the same task for mouse users, so it's in the tab order where one would expect the crosshair to be.
  2. Consider adding a visible link to expose the field, or some instruction so users with limited vision or motor control know how to access the coordinates field without having to click a small target over a small thumbnail.

User interface changes

Users would easily understand how to set the Focal Point by dragging the crosshair with their mouse, or by entering x/y values with their keyboard.

API changes
