[$250] Keyboard Navigation: Track Distance: Map start/stop points cannot be reordered by using a keyboard #74764
Description
Action Performed
Prerequisites:
- the user is signed in.
- The start and stop points has been selected on the track distance page.
- Using Chrome, open the URL - https://new.expensify.com/
- Navigate to the "+" icon and press Enter
- Tab to the "Track distance' menu item and press Enter to open the Pop-up
- Navigate and select 'Start' map points and select any address for the start point.
- Navigate and select 'Stop' map points and select any address for the start point.
- Try and observe to reorder the points using the keyboard (Tab, arrow keys, Enter, or Space).
Expected Result
Users must be able to reorder the 'start/stop' points on the map using only the keyboard. A keyboard accessible control (such as dedicated Up and Down arrow buttons next to each waypoint) should allow the user to change the position of a selected waypoint in the route list.
Actual Result
The 'start/stop' points on the Map can be reordered only via mouse drag-and-drop. When navigating with the keyboard, the user can focus the points, but no keyboard controls are provided to change or activate their order. The reordering function is not available for the keyboard users and remains exclusively available for mouse users only.

User Impact
People who are blind cannot use pointing devices like a mouse that require eye-hand coordination. People with low vision may have trouble finding or tracking a pointer indicator on screen. Some people with hand tremors find using a mouse very difficult and therefore usually use a keyboard.
Suggested Resolution
Provide accessible keyboard controls (e.g., “Move up / Move down” buttons) for each point, or implement keyboard drag-and-drop functionality using ARIA best practices. Ensure controls are focusable and announced properly by screen readers.
