Control Name: CollectionView

Keyboard Accessibility Evaluation

Focus Management:

No	Can the control receive focus using the Tab key?
No	Is the focus indicator clearly visible?
No	Does the focus indicator use a property in addition to color?

Tab Navigation:

No	Can the user tab into the control?
No	Can the user tab out of the control without being trapped?
No	Does Shift + Tab navigate in reverse order correctly?

Requested Keyboard Input changes (need these on Windows and MacCatalyst):

Key	Action
Arrow Keys	Should navigate the list view
Tab / Shift Tab	Tab should navigate the list view items

Summary of Issues

The CollectionView control does not have a tabstop and cannot be accessed by the keyboard alone
The first item is not selected when the control gets focus.
Has no ability so scroll with the keyboard
If the user selects an item with the mouse, the keyboard focus for the control is lost and focus will revert to another control (previous focus maybe). This is effectively a focus trap and needs to be fixed.
No keyboard ability to clear a selection.
