Comment (by afercia):

 When testing, I was surprised to see arrows navigation was implemented.
 It's an optional requirement in the ARIA Authoring Practices but somehow
 unexpected. Its advantages are not immediately clear:
 - when the accordion panels are all closed, arrows navigation adds little
 value as it just replicates native tabbing
 - when the panels are open, it allows to jump directly through the
 accordion headers, skipping any focusable content within the panels: this
 is somehow useful but I wonder how many users will discover this feature

 However, the combined effect of navigating through the accordion header
 and the page scrolling at the same time is confusing.

 Let me try a quick patch to fix it so we can better test and evaluate if
 it's worth keeping it or can be removed.
