[Accessibility]: Cannot navigate to occurrences using keyboard

Created by: varungandhi-src

Audit type

Keyboard navigation

User journey audit issue

https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/34448

Problem description

It is currently not possible to navigate to occurrences within a file using only keyboard navigation (Tab and Shift + Tab). In contrast, Google code search does support it (from my testing, it works in Chrome but not in Firefox on macOS).

Expected behavior

It should be possible to navigate to occurrences using keyboard navigation.
