Summary

Related to #2854. Add a runnable example where Shift+F10 or the Context Menu key opens actions at the current caret. A visible button offers the same entry point. Escape/Tab return to editing; Tab retains its native indentation behavior in the editor.

Rationale

Make the interaction concrete before choosing a library-wide shortcut or API. Preserve editing behavior while providing a discoverable entry point and predictable focus recovery.

Changes

Use BlockNote's BlockPopover, public editor APIs and existing Mantine primitives/styles. Demonstrate insert, nested duplicate with fresh IDs, and delete with a surviving caret target. Guard read-only, multi-block selections and IME composition. Explain unsupported selections beside the disabled action and recover when selection collapses. Reuse an existing Mantine provider when embedded and supply it when standalone. Load the same global Mantine styles as the playground so external demo controls are styled in a standalone app, and use default foreground text for readable instructions/status. The three keyboard menu items use Mantine's existing always-visible focus style so initial focus remains visible across browser heuristics. Register the canonical generated example and its workspace importer; add six browser regressions.

Impact

This changes the example gallery only. The default hover side menu and library shortcuts remain unchanged. Full menu parity, other adapters, localization and the final API need maintainer agreement; this example does not resolve the complete library-level issue.

Testing

On e5e30798e4a74b55ed7c5158762027b5f30108a2, all 18/18 focused cases pass in Linux Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with zero retries/skips. The tests render App directly and cover first-item focus, exact caret restoration, native Tab/Shift+Tab indentation, nested identities, delete/Undo, unsupported selection/read-only behavior and all menu bounds at 390×844.

The final run uses the unmodified official Docker wrapper, Dockerfile and repository engine/setup definitions, with real Typst compiler outputs and no configuration overlay. Verified command:

pnpm e2e keyboard-block-actions --retry=0 --maxWorkers=1

Formatting, whole-tree type-aware lint, and scoped example/test lint pass. Root lint excludes examples, so App was additionally checked through a source-identical copy resolving the same example dependencies and source aliases. The new test was linted directly. All 18 library packages plus shared declarations build, including the real Rust/WASM Typst compiler; the standalone example's official production build also passes. Core and React unit tests pass 797 cases with nine existing skips. pnpm 11.8 frozen installation and the official browser-image build pass; the lockfile adds only this example's importer.

The official existing-docs generation/link-validation task passes with zero errors. This bounded proposal is registered in the playground with docs: false; it does not publish a new website docs page. Additional combined-checkout validation passes all 15 native unit tasks with caches disabled (2,146 tests, 286 existing skips) after the separate encoded-asset-path repair in #3110; that repair is not included in this example patch. Screen-reader, native IME/device verification and the full existing browser/exporter matrix remain unrun.

Screenshots/Video

Six additional Linux visual scenarios pass across the three browsers in light/dark mode with reduced motion. All 12 captures were directly inspected. The existing Mantine focus outline is visible in each engine; computed status/instruction contrast is 21:1 in light mode and 9.374:1 in dark mode. These are scoped measurements, not a full accessibility audit.

Checklist

  • Code follows the project's coding standards (scoped validation).
  • Browser regressions covering the example have been added.
  • All existing tests pass (the complete browser/exporter matrix was not run).
  • The documentation has been updated to reflect the new example.

Additional Notes

Maintainer direction is requested before turning this bounded example into default behavior.

The internal div elements (focus trap and arrow) don&`#39`;t have ARIA roles assigned, but they&`#39`;re rendered as direct children of an element with `role="menu"`. According to WAI-ARIA spec, a `role="menu"` container must only contain children with specific allowed roles (`menuitem`, `menuitemradio`, `menuitemcheckbox`, `separator`, `presentation`, etc.). Elements without roles are not permitted. ## Current DOM structure ```html <div role="menu"> <div tabindex="-1" data-autofocus="true"></div> <!-- No role ✗ --> <div role="presentation"> <button role="menuitem">...</button> </div> <div class="mantine-Menu-arrow"></div> <!-- No role ✗ --> </div> ``` ## Expected behavior The internal divs without meaningful semantics should have [role="presentation"] to be transparent in the ARIA hierarchy: ```html <div role="menu"> <div role="presentation" tabindex="-1" data-autofocus="true"></div> <!-- Added role --> <div role="presentation"> <button role="menuitem">...</button> </div> <div role="presentation" class="mantine-Menu-arrow"></div> <!-- Added role --> </div> ``` ## Timeline - Referenced by PR `#8972`: [`@mantine/core`] add missing role attributes for menu children - rtivital added label "Fixed in patch" - rtivital removed label "Fixed in patch"

If you need both hover and click triggers, use `trigger="click-hover"`. <title>Menu Button Pattern | APG | WAI | W3C</title> https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/menu-button/ Menu Button Pattern | APG | WAI | W3C Skip to content Menu Button Pattern ## About This Pattern A menu button is a button that opens a menu as described in the Menu and Menubar Pattern. It is often styled as a typical push button with a downward pointing arrow or triangle to hint that activating the button will display a menu. ## Examples - Action Menu Button Example Using aria-activedescendant: A button that opens a menu of actions or commands where focus in the menu is managed using aria-activedescendant. - Action Menu Button Example Using element.focus(): A menu button made from an HTML`button` element that opens a menu of actions or commands where focus in the menu is managed using`element.focus()`. - Navigation Menu Button: A menu button made from an HTML`a` element that opens a menu of items that behave as links. ## Keyboard Interaction - With focus on the button: - - Enter: opens the menu and places focus on the first menu item. - Space: Opens the menu and places focus on the first menu item. - (Optional) Down Arrow: opens the menu and moves focus to the first menu item. - (Optional) Up Arrow: opens the menu and moves focus to the last menu item. - The keyboard behaviors needed after the menu is open are described in the Menu and Menubar Pattern. ## WAI-ARIA Roles, States, and Properties - The element that opens the menu has role button. - The element with role`button` has aria-haspopup set to either`menu` or`true`. - When the menu is displayed, the element with role`button` has aria-expanded set to`true`. When the menu is hidden,`aria-expanded` is set to`false`. - The element that contains the menu items displayed by activating the button has role menu. - Optionally, the element with role`button` has a value specified for aria-controls that refers to the element with role`menu`. - Additional roles, states, and properties needed for the menu element are described in the Menu and Menubar Pattern.

Vite ### In which browsers you can reproduce the issue? Not applicable – issue is not related to the browser ### Describe the bug The Menu Target component has a attribute called aria-controls. This attribute has the id ( &`#39`;aria-controls&`#39`;: "dropdown-id") of the dropdown that it controls. The problem is when the dropdown is closed the aria-controls attribute is still existing on the Menu Target while the dropdown is not even visible in the DOM, so it points to nothing. Currently, I am getting an accessibility warning in storybook: Unable to determine if aria-controls referenced ID exists on the page while using aria-haspopup: aria-controls="mantine-xxxxxxxxx-dropdown" This is very similar to this issue: https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/issues/7085. I believe it would be a similarly simple fix. ### If possible, include a link to a codesandbox with a minimal reproduction _No response_ ### Possible fix I think there is a possible fix in https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/blob/master/packages/%40mantine/core/src/components/Popover/PopoverTarget/PopoverTarget.tsx#L51. **Proposed change:** &`#39`;aria-controls&`#39`;: ctx.opened ? ctx.getDropdownId() : undefined. ### Self-service - [x] I would be willing to implement a fix for this issue --- ### Timeline **`@rtivital`** commented · Jan 8, 2026 at 2:01pm > You are welcome to submit a PR with a fix **`@J-P-Robin`** commented · Jan 8, 2026 at 6:38pm · edited > I&`#39`;m having the same issue. I had to set `keepMounted` to `true`. Although the keyboard navigation (arrows) stops working in this case. The component does not catch the keyboard event when the dropdown is open. The quickfix was to manage by hand the first focus. > > This second issue may not be related to this one, but thought it could be helpful to know. **jonathanhuynh70** mentioned this in PR [`#8595`: [`@mantine/core`] Fix popover aria-controls attribute](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/pull/8595) · Jan 9, 2026 at 2:06am **rtivital** closed this · Jan 15, 2026 at 1:34pm <title>[`@mantine/core`] Menu: Mark non-menuitem dropdown children as presentational</title> GitHub pull request 9004 in mantinedev/mantine (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) # [`@mantine/core`] Menu: Mark non-menuitem dropdown children as presentational - State: merged - Author: Sanjays2402 - Created: 2026-06-24T07:30:29Z - Updated: 2026-06-28T10:18:25Z - Repository: mantinedev/mantine - Number: `#9004` - +21 -1 in 3 files - Merged: 2026-06-28T10:18:19Z - Merge commit: 498c956d1ec27fe22af2e997b12dcf2ce4577b9c --- Fixes `#8971`. ### Problem `Menu.Dropdown` renders a ` ` whose direct children include two decorative wrappers without any ARIA role: - the initial-focus placeholder (`data-autofocus`) used when `withInitialFocusPlaceholder` is enabled; - the floating arrow (`.mantine-Menu-arrow`) rendered when `withArrow` is set. Per WAI-ARIA 1.2, elements with `role="menu"` may only contain children whose role is `menuitem`, `menuitemradio`, `menuitemcheckbox`, `separator`, `presentation`/`none`, or `group` containing the above. Untagged ` `s are not permitted and are flagged by accessibility audits. ### Fix Add `role="presentation"` to both decorative children so they become semantically transparent: - `MenuDropdown.tsx`: set `role="presentation"` directly on the autofocus placeholder div. - `FloatingArrow.tsx`: default the arrow div to `role="presentation"`. The role is set before the `{...others}` spread, so any caller that wants a different role can still override it. This is correct across `Popover`, `Tooltip`, `HoverCard`, and `Menu` — the arrow is a decorative element with no semantic meaning in any of these contexts. ### Tests Added a regression test in `Menu.test.tsx` that opens a `Menu` with `withArrow` and asserts both the autofocus placeholder and the arrow expose `role="presentation"`. Existing tests (`Menu` + `Popover` + `Tooltip` + `HoverCard` + `Floating` utils, 528 tests across 18 suites) still pass; no public API change. ### Notes - No new props, no behavioural changes, purely an accessibility metadata fix. - I considered scoping the arrow change to `Popover.Dropdown` only (passing `role="presentation"` from the call site) to keep blast radius minimal, but `FloatingArrow` is decorative everywhere it is used and a default is both smaller and harder to forget at a new call site. ## Timeline - someone committed **rtivital** commented on 2026-06-25T19:20:39Z: > `@codex` review - codex mentioned - codex subscribed - Review by chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]: ### 💡 Codex Review Here are some automated review suggestions for this pull request. **Reviewed commit:** `d4e22585a6` ℹ️ About Codex in GitHub Your team has set up Codex to review pull requests in this repo.

Expose the visible menu trigger state.

Mantine applies menu-trigger ARIA to the child of Menu.Target, but that target wraps the drag-handle ActionIcon, not the visible Block actions button. Add the state and relationship to the external button. Omit aria-controls while the dropdown is unmounted.

Suggested fix
         <Button
+          aria-haspopup="menu"
+          aria-expanded={Boolean(blockId)}
+          aria-controls={
+            blockId ? "keyboard-block-actions-menu" : undefined
+          }
           variant="default"
         <Menu.Dropdown
+          id="keyboard-block-actions-menu"
           ref={menuRef}

Mantine already supplies role="menu" to Menu.Dropdown.

In `@examples/03-ui-components/21-keyboard-block-actions/src/App.tsx` at line 269,
Update the visible Block actions Button to expose the menu relationship with
aria-haspopup="menu", aria-expanded based on Boolean(blockId), and aria-controls
set to the dropdown ID only when blockId exists; add the matching
keyboard-block-actions-menu ID to Menu.Dropdown so aria-controls is omitted
while the dropdown is unmounted.
