The Editor keyboard navigation functionality is enabled by default.

The navigatable elements are the Editor's Toolbar and content area. Switching the focus to Editor's Toolbar or content happens through Tab and Shift + Tab keys. The navigation in the toolbar happens using the arrow keys. To activate a tool, use enter or space key. To disable the toolbar navigation, set keyboardNavigation property to false.
