Description
I would have expected navigation with arrow keys to come to a dead halt at the first or last pane, rather than wrap around. To wrap around seems counterintuitive compared with the visual. Bug or feature?

In tab containers the arrow keys cycle around. Since accordion container doesn't have an existing OS / client side equivalent we are treating them as tab containers. They work similar in that only one pane is visible at a time. Thus, I think it makes sense that the accordion container should behave the same was as tab containers for consistency and cycle around. IMHO this is a feature.

Also note that for large numbers of panes, being able to cycle around is a nice shortcut for keyboard users (rather than say having to go in the other direction n times just to get to the other end). So the most keys you have to press (sans key-repeat) is n/2.
Closing for now. Please reopen if necessary.
I think this is a feature; similar to tab containers.
Becky what do you think?
