The #compose-notification-bottom
cannot be easily reached using a keyboard. Specifically, the message body absorbs any Tab presses, and a keyboard user must rely on using F6/Ctrl+Tab to jump the jump the focus forward. But this currently will skip to the status bar, or loop around to the contacts pane or "From" entry.
There is a current work around by using Shift+Tab
and approaching from the other direction. However, we could easily extend the F6 behaviour to this bar as well.

Should probably also review this section that handles Esc https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/fefc1c8a9f1910815604268b2c058303aa54f175/mail/components/compose/content/MsgComposeCommands.js#2819

Reviewing will be great, but imo we should keep the intended ux-efficiency functionality.

I didn't mean get rid of it. I have a suspicion that activeElement.classList.contains("messageCloseButton")
is dead code because this is a class used in <notification>
elements, but we use <notification-message>
elements now. And I think activeElement.parentNode.parentNode.id == "msgSubject"
is fragile, and might be broken. So its worth fixing this up at the same time since it falls under the same area of keyboard access.

wontfix for 91 because this depends on changes in bug 1723757 that aren't in 91.
