If I press the arrow button part of the special char toolbar button - a mini-dialog expands. It would be nice if one could navigate this dialog using the keyboard, specifically the arrow keys, rather than just the mouse.
Observed with: Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 432930279b5d2791efadf5d602fb426c59d10a48 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded also with the QT5 VCL.
The <Tab> and <Shift><Tab> work for keyboard movements on Windows builds. Does feel odd that Cursor (U,D,L,R) don't control these split-button items.
Tab works with Version: 25.8.1.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 580(Build:1) CPU threads: 32; OS: Linux 6.16; UI render: default; VCL: kf6 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US 25.8.1-3 Calc: threaded
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) So, I understand you can confirm that the arrow keys don't work? :-(
I cannot confirm the issue "Can't navigate special-char menubutton-dialog using the keyboard" (but yes, while the arrow keys work in the dialog they doesn't for the widget).
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) Changed the title; how about now?
Tested on Windows 11, LibreOffice versions: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64) stable and 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) alpha Keyboard navigation in mini-dialogs of split-buttons works as follows: Tab / Shift+Tab → works perfectly, moves focus between elements. Arrow keys (Up/Down/Left/Right) → behavior is inconsistent: in some mini-dialogs the arrows perform specific actions (e.g., switch color, select line style), but not in all dialogs. Overall, the dialog remains functional. Result: Partially reproducible. Keyboard navigation works via Tab, while Arrow keys execute functions only in some dialogs. Environment details: UI locale: uk-UA, VCL: win, IK: Skia/RASTER. QA status: NOT FULLY REPRODUCED; main functionality works with Tab navigation.

I've started looking into porting away from using the custom SvxCharView to a weld::IconView, which does support arrow key navigation out of the box.
(In reply to Michael Weghorn from comment #10) Thanks for noticing this and sorry for not having marked it accessibility-related. And thanks for the fix of course.
(In reply to Volodymyr from comment #7) > Tab / Shift+Tab → works perfectly, moves focus between elements. Nitpick: I think you only read the first comment. I had changed the title for the bug to be only about keyboard navigation (following a comment by Heiko). Unfortunately we don't have comment editing functionality, which means that when one does triage, one has to focus first-and-foremost on the title, which can be edited - or better yet to read the sequence of comments. Which is annoying, I know, but sometimes a bug changes during the discussion...

As far as I can see, you actually *did* set the "accessibility" keyword, which is why I became aware of this ticket. :-) (The fix is still WIP.)
