Implement Interactive Scanning strategy with Arrow Key Navigation #27

@abansal21

Description

@abansal21

There is a user request in cboard-org/cboard (issue #1828) to implement a new Interactive scanning mode that allows users to navigate with arrow keys (up, down, left, right) in addition to using the spacebar for sequential scanning.

Currently, react-scannable has:

  • Automatic strategy: Scans automatically.
  • Manual strategy: Scans sequentially using the spacebar, and arrow keys allow movement in left and right direction only

Requested Solution:

Add a new Interactive strategy in react-scannable where:

  • Users can navigate freely in all four directions using the arrow keys.
  • Spacebar retains its sequential behaviour.

Expected Outcome:

  • This will allow users to control scanning interactively with the arrow keys, while still allowing for sequential movement.
