Tab stop for quick keyboard escaping

[drewstewartdesigns]

In the carousel example, when traversing the DOM with the keyboard the user is required to cycle through all the list items before they can tab put of the carousel.

Would it be better to only allow tabbing to focus visible elements instead of revealing the next "page" of list items? If the tab order went

• First visible item
• N visible items
• Last visible item
• Next pagination button
• Next focusable DOM element

Paging to the next set of list items would be triggered with an arrow key while a visible list item has focus, or by the pagination button.

The intent is to handle this by using the inert property to remove the content on the non-visible pages from the tab flow. I haven't prototyped it in the JS polyfill yet but it should behave exactly as you expect.
