What this video covers
Keyboard navigation means using the keyboard to operate an interface: Tab to move between controls, arrow keys to navigate within a group, Enter or Space to activate. If the mouse disappeared, everything would still have to work.
When every button was its own tab stop, reaching the far end meant pressing Tab again and again. Switch to a roving tabindex and Tab drops you into the group just once - then the arrow keys carry you across it, the way a keyboard user expects a toolbar, a menu or a set of radio buttons to behave.
