It currently does not support keyboard interaction, which would be really nice for us terminal nerds who like to keep the fingers off the mouse as much as possible.

P.S. Thanks for Windows Terminal, you folks are doing an awesome job!

The tab color picker should follow the same keyboarding flow as all other UI -- namely that you can navigate it with Tab and select things with Space or Enter.

Is that not working?

I'm guessing you're looking for "The Tab Color Picker should be navigable with the arrow keys", issue #6675?

@DHowett Yes, @zadjii-msft beat me to it :)
Tab and Shift+Tab are working for navigation, was just expecting arrow keys navigation over anything else.

Thank you both, closing for deduplication (didn't find the other issue when searching for it).
