Best Practices Checklist

We're trying to move away from some deprecated patterns in this codebase. Please
check if your PR meets these recommendations before asking for a review:

• Any new files are using TypeScript (.ts, .tsx).
• Avoid propTypes and defaultProps in any new or modified code.
• Tests should use the helpers in src/testUtils.tsx (specifically initializeMocks)
• Do not add new fields to the Redux state/store. Use React Context to share state among multiple components.
• Use React Query to load data from REST APIs. See any apiHooks.ts in this repo for examples.
• All new i18n messages in messages.ts files have a description for translators to use.
• Avoid using ../ in import paths. To import from parent folders, use @src, e.g. import { initializeMocks } from '@src/testUtils'; instead of from '../../../../testUtils'

@bradenmacdonald Could you review this small PR?

@ChrisChV There is still an issue... now when I try to select a unit using the keyboard, the space key scrolls the page. We need to capture the event AND prevent default, but only if the text box is not handling the event. The textbox should be capturing the event somehow and stopping it from bubbling up to the container DIV ?

Here I am pressing shift-tab a few times, then space:
