💡 What:
Replaced .onTapGesture usage on interactive list rows and elements with Button(action: ...) { ... } .buttonStyle(.plain).

🎯 Why:
In SwiftUI, attaching .onTapGesture directly to structural views (like HStack) makes them interactive for mouse/touch users but entirely opaque to keyboard navigation (Tab key) and screen readers (VoiceOver). By wrapping the content in a Button, the operating system properly recognizes the elements as focusable and actionable controls.

📸 Before/After:
(Visuals remain identical due to .buttonStyle(.plain), but keyboard focus rings will now correctly appear when tabbing).

♿ Accessibility:

  • Restores keyboard navigation (tabbing) for Command Palette items, Chord sequence rows, and Command Wheel action items.
  • Restores VoiceOver focus and activation for these elements.
  • Ensured .contentShape(Rectangle()) modifiers were preserved inside the button labels to prevent the clickable area from shrinking to just the visible text/icons, avoiding a UX regression for mouse users.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Accessibility & Interaction
    • Improved keyboard and assistive technology support for selectable rows and command palette options.
    • Preserved existing editing, selection, and dismissal behavior when activating items.
    • Maintained visual styling and interaction areas throughout the interface.

…ith Buttons

Replaced direct `.onTapGesture` usage on structural views (like HStack) with standard Buttons using `.buttonStyle(.plain)` across `CommandPalette`, `ChordSequenceListViews`, and `CommandWheelSettingsView`. Preserved `.contentShape(Rectangle())` to maintain clickable areas. This ensures proper keyboard navigation (tab focus) and VoiceOver accessibility for these list interactions.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes replace SwiftUI tap gestures with plain-styled buttons in chord rows, sequence rows, command palette rows, and command wheel action rows. Existing edit, selection, dismissal, content-shape, and hit-testing behavior remains in place.

Changes

Interactive row controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chord and sequence row buttons
XboxControllerMapper/XboxControllerMapper/Views/MainWindow/ChordSequenceListViews.swift
ChordRow and SequenceRow use plain-styled buttons that call onEdit.
Command palette selection
XboxControllerMapper/XboxControllerMapper/Views/MainWindow/CommandPalette.swift
Command palette rows use buttons that call onSelect(destination) and then dismiss the palette.
Command wheel action buttons
XboxControllerMapper/XboxControllerMapper/Views/MainWindow/CommandWheelSettingsView.swift
Action rows use buttons that set selectedItemId and editingAction. The button retains conditional hit testing through canEdit.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9653a

The change improves keyboard and assistive-technology access, but command-wheel rows can now trigger row selection or editing when users activate the separate edit or delete controls, and non-editable rows are not fully guarded. This interaction regression should be corrected before merging.

Keep the row action and accessory controls separate.

CommandWheelActionRow contains pencil and trash Buttons, but CommandWheelSettingsView wraps the entire row in another Button. The outer action unconditionally sets selectedItemId and editingAction, so accessory activation can also select the row and open the edit sheet.

.allowsHitTesting(canEdit) applies to the row label, not the outer Button. The outer action has no canEdit guard. Apply .disabled(!canEdit) to the row control and keep the accessory buttons outside it.
