## The basics - [x] I [validated my changes](https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/contribute/core#making_and_verifying_a_change) ## The details ### Resolves Fixes #8930 Fixes part of #8771 ### Proposed Changes This PR introduces support for connections to be focusable (and thus navigable with keyboard navigation when paired with downstream changes to `LineCursor` and the keyboard navigation plugin). This is a largely isolated change in how it fundamentally works: - `RenderedConnection` has been updated to be an `IFocusableNode` using a new unique ID maintained by `Connection` and automatically enabling/disabling the connection highlight based on whether it's focused (per keyboard navigation). - The way that rendering works here has changed: rather than recreating the connection's highlight SVG each time, it's only created once and updated thereafter to ensure that it correctly fits block resizes or movements. Visibility of the highlight is controlled entirely through display visibility and can now be done synchronously (which was a requirement for focusability as only displayed elements can be focused). - This employs the same type of ID schema strategy as fields in #8923. ### Reason for Changes This is part of an ongoing effort to ensure key components of Blockly are focusable so that they can be keyboard-navigable (with other needed changes yet both in Core Blockly and the keyboard navigation plugin). ### Test Coverage No new tests have been added. It's certainly possible to add unit tests for the focusable configurations being introduced in this PR, but it may not be highly beneficial. It's largely assumed that the individual implementations should work due to a highly tested FocusManager, and it may be the case that the interactions of the components working together is far more important to verify (that is, the end user flows). The latter is planned to be tackled as part of #8915. ### Documentation No documentation changes should be needed here. ### Additional Information This includes changes that have been pulled from #8875.
