The key to keyboard and mouse support across tablets and ChromeOS
summary
With over 270 million active large‑screen Android devices and ~90% of Chromebook users on keyboard+mouse, the talk shows concrete APIs and code paths: use selectionContainer for selectable text, rememberSaveable for keyboard connect/disconnect state, onPreviewKeyEvent and focusGroup for Tab/arrow navigation, indication/hoverable and custom Indication classes for focus and hover visuals, pointerIcon for cursor changes, mouse‑wheel scale variables for zoom, and dropdown menus for right‑click context. These techniques enable predictable keyboard/mouse behavior across tablets and ChromeOS.
