Keyboard Only Drag & Drop

Hi All,

Long time listener, first time caller. I hope I'm doing this right!

I have a few unique projects I have been working on in my spare time that I hope to share. But first, I'd like to share my attempt at an accessible drag & drop interaction

Try it out: Accessible Drag & Drop

This project allows users to use key presses to select, drop, submit or reset the activity. It will also work with mouse clicks. 

I noticed when using a question slide/freeform slide, hover states cannot submit an answer, so that's why I added the reset trigger to this activity. 

I'd be happy to get some feedback on this piece.

Thank you!

  • It looks amazing! I tried it and noticed that all items can be dropped into a single drop area. It would be great if an error message or a pop-up appeared to inform the user to use a different drop area.

      Thanks so much for trying it out! When I get back to where I've saved my Story file, I'll upload it.

      I was curious about putting in messages like what you mentioned. For now, it's the simple reset button. This is because of it being a "normal" slide. 

      I'm hoping what I've built will allow other designers to replace the # and letter fields with custom info with some ease.

      Thanks again for the feedback! Much appreciated.
