[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Looks like one can tab through the captions options as a work around, but I agree that it makes sense the arrow keys would contextually navigate the menu rather than controlling the volume.

I imagine this is because the arrow keys control volume while the element is focused and that continues to be the case while the captions menu is focused.

Sounds like Video/Audio controls domain.

I see I didn't tab enough to see the dropdowns eventually get focused. So I think the current order of

(volume slider focused) <tab> (cc focused) <space> (dropdown becomes visible) <tab> (fullscreen button focused) <tab> (dropdown option focused)

should be rearranged such that the dropdown options get focused after <space>.

And I agree with you that arrow key control should be implemented.
