Component
  1. Keyboard Accessibility

Description

The Reorderer contains a number of very useful low-level keyboard accessibility features. This code should be extracted into a generally usable keyboard accessibility library, including:

  • focus management
  • keyboard handlers for the arrow keys (horizontal, vertical, and 2D)
  • keyboard handlers for activation (Enter, Space)

This should ultimately take the form of a jQuery plugin that we'll contribute back to the jQuery community.

    All remaining subtasks of this issue have been converted to full-fledged bugs against the Keyboard Accessibility component.
