Layout Customizer Keyboard Interaction

[Michelle D'Souza]

In the keyboard interaction for the Layout Customizer, there is a  
warning message that is shown when trying to move a portlet above a  
locked portlet. The warning message text in the mockups is: "The box  
cannot be placed any higher in this column."  I assume that the  
warning message would also show if the user tried to move the last  
portlet in a column down or the user tried to move a portlet in the  
rightmost (or leftmost) column right (or left).

The actual text will, of course, be customizable. What I'm wondering  
about is whether I require four different messages - one for each  
direction - or whether a more generic message would be reasonable.  
Perhaps something like: "The portlet cannot be moved in that  
direction." Which shows up in response to the direction key that the  
user has just pressed.

Thanks,

Michelle
