## 2026-07-17 - [Bilingual UI Keyboard Focus Indicators]
**Learning:** In highly customized desktop/web hybrid editors like Bangladesh Code, custom UI layouts (like the Lucide-icon-based Activity Bar and custom header navigation) rely heavily on raw buttons, anchor tags, and role-based wrappers. If standard outlines are globally reset to `none` (often done to satisfy custom design requirements), keyboard-only users become completely blind to the currently active element when pressing Tab, severely degrading accessibility.
**Action:** Always provide a high-contrast `:focus-visible` outline utilizing existing theme-aware CSS variables (like `--accent-color` or `--gov-green`) with a slight offset. This ensures that only keyboard navigation triggers the outline, preserving the custom mouse-driven aesthetics while guaranteeing flawless compliance with WCAG 2.1 AAA keyboard accessibility.
