I don't have physical hardware but I used the simulators with simulated physical keyboard attached.

I didn't reproduce these on phones but it does reproduce on the tablet simulators.
Additionally there is a slight difference of behaviour with the chrome application where keyboard navigation does work, but it is a little janky (the select menu seems to hide during the key press and reappears on key up, resulting in the menu flashing).

But these are standard browser features, so I don't think Cordova can do anything here. It's not something that Cordova actually implements and the issue is likely inside the underlying webview component. I'd first ensure that you have the latest Android System Webview installed from Google Play to see if the issue is resolved. If not, then reporting a bug to chromium will probably be the next step to see what they say.
