/**
* Keyboard Navigation Module
*
* Provides reusable arrow key navigation for button groups and grids.
*
* Concepts:
* - Group: A container with focusable elements (buttons, links, items)
* - Button row: Left/right arrows navigate between buttons, up/down navigate to adjacent groups
* - Grid: A responsive grid of items; arrows follow the visual grid layout
*
* Data attributes for customization:
* - data-nav-group: Marks a navigation group container
* - data-nav-primary: Marks the preferred element to focus when entering a group
* - data-nav-items: CSS selector for focusable items within the group (default: 'button, a, [tabindex="0"], [tabindex="-1"]:not([disabled])')
