Component
  1. Layout Reorderer

Description

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open the layout reorderer demo with NVDA on
http://build.fluidproject.org/infusion/demos/reorderer/layoutReorderer/html/layoutReorderer.html

2) Move focus to one of the movable portlets.

3) Attempt to reorder portlets using ctrl+(arrow).
Notice that the portlets do not reorder.

**They do reorder with the letter keys (i, j, k, m). Also the grid reorderer demo works with letters and arrows.

NVDA 2013.1, FF 21

    It's likely that NVDA is capturing ctrl+(arrow) for its own use. We should double-check this, and if so, consider closing this issue.

    I wonder if it may have to do with the screenreader being in the wrong mode, because the ctrl-arrow combination works in the grid reorderer demo. I guess it could also have to do with the markup of the demos and/or of the items being reordered.
