Bug: Need for manual switch to Focus Mode

[DiogoRDuarte]

Describe the bug
Due to the nature of NVDA and JAWS, users of these screen readers need to manually switch to “Focus mode” in order to use the arrow keys for navigation. This change happens automatically in forms.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Turn on either NVDA or JAWS;
2. Focus one of AutoVizuA11y charts;
3. Press any of the arrow keys.
4. Verify how the focus does not change to another chart or underlying element.

Expected behavior
The keyboard focus should change between charts and underlying elements as intended.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Browser: Firefox, Chrome, Safari
• Screen Reader: VoiceOver
• AutoVizuA11y Version: 1.0.3

Additional context
Fixing this would not only make the experience less cumbersome for users of these screen readers but also approximate the experience to that of VoiceOver users.
