SUMMARY
When tabbing through the Touchpad page in System Settings, the Apply button in not part of the tab order.
After tabbing to Device enabled and hitting the space bar, I wanted to tab down to the Apply button to enable the Touchpad, but tab focus just goes back to the top option Device enabled.  

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings >>> Input Devices >>> Touchpad
2. Then check the box for Device enabled
3. Using the Tab key, try to tab down the Apply button, but the button is not part of the tab order.  It just back to the top option Device enabled.

OBSERVED RESULT
The Apply button is not in the tab order

EXPECTED RESULT
Should've been able the Apply button using the tab key

Yeah, for now you'll need to use the Alt key accelerators to access the buttons on the bottom.

I can't reproduce this anymore on master or Fedora 42.

It's hard on many/all qml kcms to enter the tab chain in the first place; unless you apply the fix in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcmutils/-/merge_requests/253 you'll probably have to click into the kcm to get focus on one of the items. (Shift-Tabbing into them might also work)

But if I do that and change something, the Apply button is reachable by pressing tab.

Can anyone still reproduce this on current Plasma?

No, this was fixed a while ago.
