First-party, keyboard-accessible drag-and-drop is a differentiator (React/Vue/Svelte typically reach for libraries like dnd-kit), but a feature set introduced one minor ago has not yet proven itself across a release cycle, and accessible DnD specifically needs rigorous validation.\n\n**Proposed solution**\nFreeze the `dnd` API for one cycle and add thorough coverage — especially for the keyboard interaction model (pick up, move, drop, cancel via keyboard) and screen-reader announcements during drag, plus pointer behavior across the `grid`/`viewport`/`delay` options. Publish an accessibility statement for the DnD interactions. Exit criteria: frozen surface, tested keyboard + pointer paths, documented a11y behavior.\n\n**Possible API or UX shape**\n```ts\nimport { useSortable } from \"@bquery/bquery/dnd\";\n\nconst { items } = useSortable(listEl, {\n  bounds: \"viewport\",\n  keyboard: true,   // documented + tested pick/move/drop/cancel\n  delay: 150\n});\n```\n\n**Alternatives considered**\nPromoting now — premature for a 1.14-introduced accessible-DnD surface. Dropping keyboard support to simplify stabilization — rejected; accessible DnD is precisely the differentiator and should be hardened, not removed.\n\n**Relevant area**\n`dnd`\n\n**Additional context**\nCoordinate the a11y announcement path with the `a11y` live-region API (#142) so DnD announcements use the same mechanism.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/JosunLP","@type":"Person","name":"JosunLP"},"datePublished":"2026-06-26T21:25:41.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/143/bQuery/issues/143"}
