Thanks for the input! I hadn't thought about what might be handled by modern browsers. I will say my research opened my eyes to actions a person with a disability needs to use a computer such as keystrokes over mouse functions.

Is there a reason to use vanilla JS over jQuery?

Mostly, bundle size, if you can have one less extra thing added to your bundle, you may as well.

And 99.5% of jQuery is now in the es6 JavaScript specification, so it is seen as wasteful to add it.
