Make GPT4All keyboard accessible (fully navigable and functional with keyboard only)

I work for a university in Utah, and we have a full accessibility department who has to test new software before we can offer it to students. I'm going to paste the results of their accessibility test below (everything that pertains to keyboard accessibility). Since it's "GPT4All", making the desktop applications accessible should hopefully be a big priority :)

Test report summary:

GPT4All was tested for minimum functional accessibility using a Windows computer. The following accessibility issues were identified:

  1. User is unable to navigate application using a keyboard alone.
  2. There is no visible keyboard element present.

Accessibility testing indicates that GPT4All is likely to present accessibility barriers to some individuals with disabilities.
