[Bug 1262933] Re: Drag-and-drop page editor is not keyboard-accessible

 

That sounds good to me. There are a couple of complications, though:

1. There can be up to 30 layout cells in a Page (6 rows with 5 columns
each). So that might be a lot of options for the menu.

2. It's not enough just to choose a cell. If there are already blocks in
a cell, you can put the new block above, below, or between them. Perhaps
you could add new blocks to the bottom of the cell, and then add
controls to move it up/down within the cell?

Title:
  Drag-and-drop page editor is not keyboard-accessible

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently the drag and drop page editor cannot be used with the keyboard. This is a major accessibility problem for people who rely on the keyboard and are unable to use a mouse easily.
  There are two options for making this accessible: Implement keyboard drag-and-drop using ARIA and Javascript or display the non-js editor for screen reader users (and make that accessible)

  It seems that ARIA drag-and-drop attributes are not well supported
  among most screen readers but a mostly-JS approach (like in
  http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/accessible-drag-and-drop/) can work
  well.
