Description

When a terminal console is open in JupyterLab, if the user presses the tab key, they will get trapped in the console. The only way to exit the console with the keyboard is to press CTRL + D.

Understanding Success Criterion 2.1.2: No Keyboard Trap

Implementation details

Probably the easiest way to conform to WCAG 2.1.2 is to include a message in the terminal that lets the user know how to exit. But this needs further investigation.
