summary

Concrete steps to add keyboard and mouse support: make text selectable with a selection container, preserve UI state across keyboard attach/detach with rememberSaveable API, handle Tab and arrow navigation via onPreviewKeyEvent modifier and focus groups, add visible focus outlines and custom cues with an indication modifier and hoverable interaction sources, implement mouse wheel zoom and change cursor with ViewPointerIcon, and show right‑click context via a dropdown menu. Cites 270 million large screen Android devices and ~90% Chromebook keyboard use.
