Re: Styling Radio elements to look like Button element?

Since the checkbox role maps to equivalent control types on the OS, as with the radio role, then the keyboard model should match the
functionality of each accordingly.

So, checkbox controls should have separate tab stops unless otherwise disabled, and grouped radio controls should have one tab stop
and the arrow keys should switch between them or skip one if otherwise disabled.

Basically, the keyboard functionality should match the equivalent control type observed on the native OS.
