* **Severity**:
* Low
* **Affected Populations**:
* Blind
* Motor Impaired
* **Platform(s)**:
* All / Universal
* **Components affected**:
* Edit Media
**Issue description**
The Edit Media interface* includes the ability to re-arrange the boxes by
drag and drop, however this can only be achieved by mouse users, since
the functionality does not support touch or keyboard users.
Users of touchscreens and keyboards cannot re-order the boxes. Speech
recognition users may be able to if they can manipulate the mouse with
speech (such as using Mouse Move), however this is onerous and
difficult.
**Remediation Guidance**
Allow keyboard and touchscreen users the ability to re-arrange the
boxes. This can either be done with dedicated buttons, such as are used
within Gutenberg for moving Blocks; or it could be done by extending
drag and drop support to keyboard and touch users (a good example of
which is dragondrop: https://schne324.github.io/dragon-drop/demo/).
**Relevant standards**
* 2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A) https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#keyboard-
operation-keyboard-operable
Note: This issue may be a duplicate with other existing accessibility-
related bugs in this project. This issue comes from the Gutenberg
accessibility audit, performed by Tenon and funded by WP Campus. This
issue is GUT-80 in Tenon's report
*''Original issue description and screenshot are available at page 142 of
the complete technical report PDF. However, the screenshot appears to be
related to the edit post screen in the classic editor.''
