[Enhancement][a11y] Accessibility support and roadmap #511

Description

Feature Request: Accessibility (a11y) roadmap or support

Summary

Currently, flexlayout-react is a powerful and flexible layout manager, but it seems to lack accessibility (a11y) support features such as:

  • Keyboard navigation between tabs and panels
  • Proper focus management
  • ARIA roles and attributes for screen readers
  • Color contrast and high-contrast mode support

Context

I'm evaluating whether to integrate flexlayout-react in an application.
Before implementing custom patches, I wanted to ask:
Is accessibility (a11y) currently on the roadmap?

Expected Behavior

Ideally, the library would:

  • Support navigation with keyboard (Tab, Arrow keys)
  • Expose ARIA roles for panels, tabs, and layout containers
  • Manage focus properly when moving or docking panels
  • Provide an accessible theme option or allow easy customization

Thanks for your time and for maintaining this awesome library
