Comment (by grahamarmfield):

 Patch tested in following browsers on Windows 7:

 * Chrome 31
 * Firefox 25
 * IE10

 It is possible to tab to all the elements in the media file list. And they
 can be selected and deselected using the space bar. This is a good result
 for sighted users who rely on keyboard interaction. Focus visibility is
 the same as browser defaults.

 Additionally, the functionality is enhanced when using screen readers -
 NVDA 2013.2 and Jaws 14. The screen reader announces the media file's
 title and whether or not the element is selected.

 This solution is a pragmatic solution and will not suit users with some
 older versions of screen readers. But the situation is a lot better than
 the current keyboard inaccessible add media panel.

 Further enhancements and issues about tab order in other areas will be
 handled in separate trac tickets.

 The patch needs a refresh.
