Proposed Changes
Adds new optional shortcuts for scrolling the workspace. These shortcuts use the same default key bindings as unconstrained move mode (ctrl/cmd+arrow keys). They do not work on immovable workspaces (e.g. mutators), while editing fields, or while in the middle of a keyboard move. They do work in non-mutator flyout workspaces.
When a shortcut is used, the workspace will attempt to scroll by 50 screen pixels. If it fails to move, the user will beep and an announcement will be made using the Aria live region. The new shortcuts will be registered automatically by applications that call
Blockly.ShortcutItems.registerNavigationShortcuts().Reason for Changes
Currently, it is not possible to look around the workspace using the keyboard without changing focus.
Test Coverage
Existing teardown functions were updated if they also need to unregister these new shortcuts.
