[feature] Evokable Drag method
Author: astangeloCreated Apr 16, 2026Updated Apr 16, 2026
Problem
For accessibility, it would be useful to support keyboard-only draggable behavior. I've seen this where the handle has a keybinding that puts the current item into a draggable state and then the up and down arrows can be used to navigate the item up and down a list.
Desired Solution
Support a method that would put the list into this state, with passed item being the item that is being "dragged".
Additional context
I have to profess I don't remember how to do this in other frameworks. In Vue, you would bind the the draggable component to a ref, and then call the method against it.
