Please also see the reported accessibility bugs of flatpickr:

**Update 15.03.2023:**

As we found out that date pickers were not keyboard accessible before 12.5, we decided to handle this and other accessibility topics in 13.0, in the scope of <mention class="mention" data-id="46815" data-type="work_package" data-text="##46815">##46815</mention>. Development and testing will follow a checklist to make it more thorough and in accordance with the standards and requirements.
