+/**
+ * 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])')
+ *
+ * Automatic navigation:
+ * - Buttons/links inside .button-row or .modal-actions get automatic left/right arrow navigation
+ * - No need for explicit @keydown handlers on elements
+ * - Call initKeyboardNavigation() once at app startup to enable global navigation
+ */
