Ability to Trigger Slider Focus

[rizedr]

The accessibility property is very useful as it gives the user the possibility to navigate with the slider using their arrow keys, however, in my opinion, it fails because a focus event needs to happen on the slider in order for the navigation to work.

I think it would be a good addition to add a property to trigger the focus event where you need it.

In my scenario, I am presenting a gallery in a modal and would like to give the user the possibility to navigate using arrow keys as soon as the modal opens.

You can trigger focus this way:

this.slider.innerSlider.list.setAttribute('tabindex', 0);
this.slider.innerSlider.list.focus();

this.slider being a ref to the Slider component.
Also make sure your fadein/appear animations are finished before calling focus or it won't work!
