Keyboard navigate canvas elements in Build mode

In Build mode, you can now use the arrow keys to change what's selected on the canvas — the same elements you can already click. Using the same keys as Design mode: ↑ Up, ↓ Down, ← Left, and → Right to move through parent, child, and siblings, and Option/Alt + ↑ Up or ↓ Down to step through elements one by one.

If you're working through a page — checking content, updating text, reviewing components — you can move through them in sequence without clicking each one individually.

Arrow keys only stop on elements you can select. A rich text element is one stop and components inside it stay reachable. Hidden elements are skipped.
