Hi Joonas,

Thanks for the suggestion. Accessibility will definitely improve in the next release. I keep this issue open till the fix 👍

I'd recommend changing the label back to a bug for this issue, and a critical one at that. Keyboard access is one of the lowest-level accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard) and is a breaking experience for any user that uses keyboard as a primary navigation tool.

This project is positioned as a drop-in datepicker component, and that makes it even more of a critical bug to fix; anyone who uses this for their own project in the current state will run afoul of the guideline.

Thanks, @jeffcrump for the clarification 🙏🏻. I'm working on the new release 😇

@J-Kallunki @jeffcrump This is now fixed in v1.1.0 🎉 date picker is now accessible with keyboard and there are huge accessibility improvements.
