Issue: Focus when using JAWs, Narrator, or NVDA only updates by pressing tab key, but doesn't update focus state with Arrow Key or B Key.

example: pressing down arrow key seems to focus on a different button in the grid (in this case moving from 2 to 10) and screen reader announces button ten, but then when you click tab key the focus actually moves to button3.

Screen Shot 2021-06-02 at 12 05 40 PM

Expectation: should be able to traverse buttons using arrow or B key and hear screen reader announce it and update the focus to the proper element, not just when using tab key.

Sample code: https://github.com/morrison999/aira-flutter
