The delete button was intentionally removed from the tab chain in 2021 (commit 5176954, PR #3290) based on accessibility guidance at the time.

Removed tabindex="-1" and data-sap-no-tab-ref from the delete button, making it consistent with the detail button. Tab, Shift+Tab, and F2 now reach the delete button within list items.

Fixes #13220
Relates to #2964

The delete button was intentionally removed from the tab chain in 2021
(commit 5176954, PR #3290) based on accessibility guidance at the time.
This decision has since been reconsidered — UX now requires the button
to be keyboard accessible, as the Delete key shortcut alone is not
intuitive for most users.

Removed tabindex="-1" and data-sap-no-tab-ref from the delete button,
making it consistent with the detail button. Tab, Shift+Tab, and F2
now reach the delete button within list items.
