Problem/Motivation

When editing in ME mode via keyboard, I can still interact with the content on the page. My :focus is still brought to all elements that can gain focus such as:

  1. links
  2. buttons
  3. form elements

As a user, I would expect to only gain focus on ME components, as I am in editing mode.

Steps to reproduce

Go to any project currently using ME, especially content with lots of links, and use tab to navigate. You will notice you will still gain focus on all header and navivation elements and such before you are even able to create content. These interactions are disabled in this mode which is great for a mouse user, but still confusing for an assistive tech user

Proposed resolution

Add a negative tabindex to all non-ME related interactive elements (tabindex=-1)

Confirm this works by using keyboard
