      Actual Results

      The "How to create a form" link, which opens in a new window within the "Create form" menu popup, is currently not focusable via keyboard navigation. Although it is implemented using an <a> tag, it remains inaccessible to users who rely exclusively on keyboard navigation.

      This made it difficult for keyboard-only users to access the functionality associated with the mentioned link.

      Expected Results

      All the interactive elements should be focusable and operable using the keyboard.

      In this scenario, ensure the "How to create a form" link receives keyboard focus when navigating with the tab key. Modify the scripts to make the link focusable and keyboard operable.
