PR Checklist

Addresses an existing open issue: closes #<the_issue_number_here>. If not, explain why (minor changes, etc.).
You have discussed this issue with the maintainers of maxGraph, and you are assigned to the issue.
The scope of the PR is sufficiently narrow to be examined in a single session. A PR covering several issues must be split into separate PRs. Do not create a large PR, otherwise it cannot be reviewed and you will be asked to split it later or the PR will be closed.
I have added tests to prove my fix is effective or my feature works. This can be done in the form of automatic tests in packages/core/_tests_ or a new or altered Storybook story in packages/html/stories (an existing story may also demonstrate the change).
I have provided screenshot/videos to demonstrate the change. If no releavant, explain why.
I have added or edited necessary documentation, or no docs changes are needed.
The PR title follows the "Conventional Commits" guidelines.

Overview

In stories involving keyboard events, they don't seem to be registered and propagated to the graph container, and are thus not handled.
This pull request is intended to cover #910, although this issue is present on all stories which involve the handling of keyboard events by the graph.

Analysis

In the current stories involving keyboard events such as the Validation story, keyboard events do not seem to be detected/propagated to the graph container. I believe this is because the container HTML element linked to the graph has no tabindex attribute.
This was NOT required by the initial mxgraph example. I believe this is because in the mxgraph example, the container HTML div is the ONLY element on the page. I suppose in that case it might get focused by default and directly propagate keyboard events, but in storybook, multiple UI elements are focusable and have tabindex attributes.
The fix consists in setting the tabindex attribute of the container div, and registering a click event listener to transfer the focus to the container when it is clicked for ease of use. The validation story now works as expected.

Notes

It doesn't seem sufficient to set the tabindex attribute and focus callback on parent HTML elements of the graph container.
This affects all stories dependant on keyboard events displayed in storybook.
I've added no demonstration video, which don't illustrate well the 'absence' of event.
The correct behavior can be tested in the Validation story.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Validation UI clarified: description now states the graph is validated after each change and displays errors when invalid; guidance added for deleting selected cells with the DELETE key.
Accessibility
- Graph container is keyboard-focusable and now receives focus when clicked, improving keyboard interaction and navigation.

Walkthrough

Validation story text and interaction were changed: description now states validation runs after each change and shows errors for invalid graphs; instructions to delete selected cells with the [DELETE] key were added; a TODO about DELETE behavior was removed; the graph container is made keyboard-focusable (tabindex="0") and is focused on click. (47 words)

Changes

Validation story updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Description / UX copy `packages/html/stories/Validation.stories.ts`	Story description updated to state validation occurs after each change, an error message is shown when the graph is invalid, and to use the `[DELETE]` key to remove selected cells.
Interaction / Accessibility wiring `packages/html/stories/Validation.stories.ts`	Graph container given `tabindex="0"` and a click handler that calls `container.focus()` was added so the container can receive keyboard focus.
Comment adjustment `packages/html/stories/Validation.stories.ts`	Minor comment text changed (plural → singular) near source-node multiplicity; no runtime behavior change.
Cleanup `packages/html/stories/Validation.stories.ts`	Removed a TODO comment about DELETE-key behavior; no key-handler logic was added or modified beyond focusing the container.

186-188: Consider focusing the iframe window before focusing the container

In Storybook iframe scenarios, container.focus() alone can still be flaky for keyboard delivery. Add window.focus() in the same click handler for better reliability.
Suggested patch
-  container.addEventListener('click', () => {
-    container.focus();
-  })
+  container.addEventListener('click', () => {
+    window.focus();
+    container.focus();
+  });
Based on learnings: "KeyHandler issues in Storybook are due to iframe isolation - ... ensure the iframe window has focus by calling window.focus() and focusing the target element in the preview configuration or story setup."
