Draggable - New #a11y drag-and-drop library from Shopify

[Tony Atkins]

Hi, Alan.

I looked beyond the splashy page.  They do seem to add a smattering of ARAI
roles as claimed, but my impression after navigating their demos with a
keyboard is not all that good.  At least in their demos, most draggable
elements do seem to support keyboard focus, but there doesn't seem to be a
key binding to actually move a draggable element with the keyboard.  I
tried a-Z, A-Z ctrl+a-z, arrows, enter, space, numbers, function keys,
nothing makes a difference.  Turns out I'm not the only one to point this
out, there's already an issue on GitHub:

https://github.com/Shopify/draggable/issues/48

Hopefully they will follow up on this in short order, as it does otherwise
look interesting.

Cheers,


Tony
