Scrolling with arrows press (key up, key down) does not work after loading the page without clicking the mouse in window

Hi, I have a question about how smooth-scroll works.

At this point, it is difficult to use the website without a mouse and a touchpad in a situation where we want to move the page down by pressing the key down - nothing happens.

You have to click on the site with the mouse and only then you can use the key up, down or space.

Question:

What to do to make the key up, key down, space buttons work immediately after loading the page?

Keyboard events require the scrollbar container to be focused, so after loading the page, call

container.focus()

It works, thank you

Hi everyone, I tried to implement this tip in my react app, but it didn't work out(((

useEffect(() => {
    const wrapper = scrollbar.current;
    if (wrapper) {
      wrapper.focus();
    }
  }, []);
