+### TreeKeyManager
+
+`TreeKeyManager` manages the active option in a tree view. Use this key manager for
+components that implement a `role="tree"` pattern.
+
+#### Basic usage
+
+Any component that uses a `TreeKeyManager` should do three things:
+* Create a `@ViewChildren` query for the tree items being managed.
+* Initialize the `TreeKeyManager`, passing in the options.
+* Forward keyboard events from the managed component to the `TreeKeyManager` via `onKeydown`.
+
+Each tree item should implement the [`TreeKeyManagerItem`](/cdk/a11y/api#TreeKeyManagerItem) interface.
+
+#### Focus management
+
+The `TreeKeyManager` will handle focusing the appropriate item on keyboard interactions.
+
+`tabindex` should also be set by the component when the active item changes. This can be listened to
+via the `change` property on the `TreeKeyManager`. In particular, the tree should only have a
+`tabindex` set if there is no active item, and should not have a `tabindex` set if there is an
+active item. Only the HTML node corresponding to the active item should have a `tabindex` set to
+`0`, with all other items set to `-1`.
