Simulator Keyboard Shortcuts

[microbit-sam]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

From support:

I've been facing an issue with the UI experience of the simulator while doing my recent project. I have to tilt the board to each of the four directions and press the A button. The moment I drag the pointer to up or down or right directions, I cannot press the 'A button' since it's present on the left of the board. I can do this nearly on a real Microbit board. Is there a way to do it or is that a bug with UI?

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to add keyboard shortcuts for the buttons e.g. listen for 'a' and 'b' and trigger the buttons when pressed

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tabbing through the elements and pressing spacebar/enter to select - it worked for me but was either not clear enough for the user, or isn't supported by all browsers

No plans to implement

Would be really nice, though!:

And maybe there are synergies for the micro:bit simulator with existing keyboard controls in or all the mouse and keyboard input stuff recently developed for Arcade?:
