Needs Accessibility Review
Thanks Mike for pointing this out, I definitely add this to the Roadmap (#74)
Read full answer below ↓Question
The demo looks great, but points to the need of a serious accessibility review.
There is an open issue in the Drupal community looking at this, and we are working on a good pattern.
The start though is having elements be focus-able for keyboard only users.

@artf just wanted to check about the timeline to add this feature. I see that you have moved it to backlog, so what is the plan to support focus on each component via keyboard.
Ya, sorry.. Been a while since I posted this link in 2017.. Had kinda forgotten what the focus of GrapeJS is. But ya, as I said 5 days ago, accessibility "isn't something you can just 'turn on'."
