      The radio buttons on the "Recordings" tab at https://musicbrainz.org/release/add don't seem to be keyboard-accessible.

      My most-common use case (after just clicking "Next" to create new recordings when adding a new-to-MB album) is adding a release to an existing release group that already contains an identical tracklist.

      MB typically does a good job of guessing the correct recordings in this case, and I'd like an easy way to verify and select the first-suggested recording for each track using only the keyboard.

      When I click the "Edit" button next to a track, the "Search" text field is initially focused. That's fine, but I'd expect to then be able to press Tab to focus the first radio button and Enter to select it. Instead, Tab skips the radio button and focuses the recording link instead (although a focus ring isn't displayed; see MBS-11947).

      Per Chrome DevTools, the <input name="recording-selection" type="radio" ...> elements aren't keyboard-focusable. I'm not sure why this is yet: if I click on one of the radio buttons, I'm able to focus it using the keyboard, but the unchecked buttons don't seem like they can be focused.

      This problem seems to have been mentioned in passing in MBS-6792 back in 2013.
