Make drag and drop accessible

Drag and drop is mouse-dependent by default—keyboard and screen reader users are completely locked out without proper alternatives and ARIA announcements.

Quick Reference

  • Always provide keyboard alternatives to drag and drop
  • Use aria-grabbed and aria-dropeffect (or newer attributes)
  • Announce drag operations to screen readers via live regions
  • Support both mouse/touch and keyboard interaction patterns

Check

Verify drag and drop interfaces have keyboard alternatives, proper ARIA attributes, and live region announcements.

Fix

Implement keyboard alternatives (arrow keys, Enter/Space), aria-grabbed, aria-dropeffect, and status announcements.

Explain

Explain how accessible drag and drop implementations provide equivalent functionality for keyboard and screen reader users.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Make drag and drop accessible. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.
