Provide Keyboard Support for Accessibility
As a keyboard user I would like to be able to activate features which are currently only available to mouse users.
For example I would like to tab to a line plot data point to expose the tooltip balloons. I would also like to be able to use my keyboard to activate the links which are currently mouse click only.

This is now implemented in the Accessibility module: http://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-concepts/accessibility

RE: Torstein Hønsi's comment
Am I correct that in the experiment shared that the spacebar has not been enabled? Or is the spacebar functionality only available to specific browser(s)? -
Hi Ted, we have done some experiments on keyboard control previously. See for example http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/8azm184u/1/.
