Feature description

Newpipe should be completely navigable and accessible using Android TV or similar devices. There should be no touchscreen-exclusive actions.

Why do you want this feature?

Plenty of issues opened about TV navigation being problematic. I'm closing them all in favour of a single, easier-to-track issue. This will have to be done during/post rewrite anyway.

🤦 That tab was the first one I opened and somehow forgot to deal with it.

From user's perspective, I've been using yuliskov/SmartTube on my Android TV (CCWGTV) and I tried it for fun on a tablet, and can see that it's basically unusable with touch controls. But might be a good inspiration for the TV controller navigation.
