The review request tabs element was also adding the review-request-actions
class, picking up a whole bunch of style rules. Most of these rules were
not necessary, either being specific to actions, or overridden by the
tabs.

This change splits those up, and also redoes the tab layout using our
new CSS component style. With this, the layout and CSS use our modern
standards, and use the more-semantic <menu> element. I've also added
ARIA attributes where appropriate to ensure that these elements include
the proper roles and attributes.

  • Looked at and interacted with reviews, diff, and file attachment tabs in
    Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Verified that functionality and
    appearance are correct.
  • Used a11y debug tools to validate the layout and roles of the tabs.

Description From Last Updated

Can you also add documentation for each named part of the component?

Indentation got a bit wonky here.

The & rules should go above rules for tags (a).

These should be in alphabetical order.

  1. Side note: What a11y debug tools do you use? I've never used any before but this seems useful and accessibility is something I've been wanting to be more mindful of.

    1. Firefox has an "Accessibility" panel in the devtools which I use for most of it. Chrome has some similar tools, though they're a bit more scattered through their devtools UI.

      You can also enable a screen reader for your OS and try to tab around with your eyes closed if you want to be humbled :)

    2. Heh cool good to know.
