Try tabbing to either arrow button with just your keyboard and activating it.

You keep getting stuck in the idea this entire thing is one complex widget — it is not. It is a tab panel with a couple buttons and those buttons are inoperable.
Millions of people depend on the keyboard to navigate the web because of their inability to use a mouse owing to a physical disability. Millions of others also use the keyboard as a preferred method of input. While using the keyboard, users can often miss out on links on a page if they haven’t been marked appropriately.
I'd really just like the features to be implemented in an inclusive way. For example, I can't "click" on a filename (I'm a keyboard-only user) because those are not links. Try the built-in accessibility inspectors in any browser to get a very basic insight into what's missing.
