Tabs: Changing selected Tab onPressEnd

[stevegreco]

Just a quick question about the Tabs component, currently when using a mouse, the tabs change onMouseDown / onPressStart, is there any way to change this behavior to onMouseUp / onPressEnd?

On mobile, it does change the Tab onPressEnd, but when using the mouse, it is the opposite.

I did not see anything in the W3 spec that addresses the best practice for interactions like this, other than with Keyboard navigation that it should change the Tab immediately.

As of today, it seems like the only way would be to maybe utilize the hooks and override this functionality.

If I recall, it's to match the behaviours of many native apps like Mac Finder tabs or Chrome tabs. We don't provide a way to change that behaviour right now.

I will note that the apg pattern does happen on press end https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/tabs/examples/tabs-automatic/
This may not have been an on purpose decision though given that it does not mention that behaviour anywhere though.

@majornista do you have any insight here?
