 Hello
 I am blind and I use WordPress with screen reader software (JAWS and
 NVDA).
 Using Wordpress menu editor is too tedious and time-consuming for a blind
 user, although other features are quite accessible.
 When I go to Appearance > Menus and I add many items to the menu, I cannot
 rearrange the menu items by drag&drop. I can use Move up / Move down /
 Move under options for moving the menu items, but this is too time-
 consuming. I need to press Move Up button 20 times if I want to move an
 item up to 20 steps higher.  If I want to move 5 items up by 20 steps, I
 need to press "Move up" 100 times, over and over. If I want to create a
 hierarchical menu  with an average of 30 menu items, I need to take about
 3 hours on rearranging the items.

 Bulk Action Feature Request:
 I want to have checkboxes beside menu items, so I can select several menu
 items simultaneously and apply a bulk move / reposition action on all of
 them simultaneously. For example, I select 6 menu items at a time and I
 have two comboboxes: parent item, position. I select "About Us" as the
 parent item, and "3" as their position. This way, all 6 items go to
 position 3 under "About Us". This is much faster than pressing "Move Up"
 120 times for reordering those 6 items.

 Bulk actions are available in all Wordpress taxonomies (Pages, posts,
 plugins, themes, etc.). I wonder why bulk actions are not available for
 menu items.

 Thank you
