hi all,
Is there any accessible tab pattern example with left and right arrow icons
around. Here is the explanation of the pattern I am talking about. we have
3 to 4 tabs on the screen with left and right arrow icons around. when the
user presses right arrow icon then additional tab items will show. would
like to know
1.how to make such pattern accessible
2.can I get any such accessible working example


Looking forward for your response.
Thank you.

ooof, that sounds like a carouselling tab panel.

I suspect that means you inherit most of the UX/a11y problems of carousels in general plus the constraints of a tabpanel.

I haven't seen exactly what you mean in the wild, and the things that might be close were certainly not accessible (as always, e-commerce).

If I see one though I will mention it here.

cheers,
_mallory
