Resolve "When the application builder editor loads with elements, automatically select the first one."

Peter Evans requested to merge 2597-when-the-application-builder-editor-loads-with-elements-automatically-select-the-first-one into develop

What is in this MR

When the application builder editor loads with elements, at the moment nothing is selected. This MR will select the first element in the page so that keyboard shortcuts can be immediately used. A secondary fix was added, for the element menu's delete button, so that after an element is deleted we select the closest sibling. This already existed in the keyboard shortcut delete functionality but was missing from the delete button.

How to test this MR

  • Create a mix of pages with and without elements.
  • Swap between them from the left hand sidebar.
  • Note how we select the first element by default, and you can immediately use keyboard shortcuts.
