Research direction
This issue requests keyboard accessibility for drag and drop in react sortable tree. First, review the component's source code to understand current drag and drop implementation (likely mouse events). Investigate ARIA drag and drop patterns and keyboard event handling (e.g., using arrow keys and space/enter). Check if any existing PRs or forks address this. The maintainer may need to clarify desired behavior (e.g., focus management, announcements). Consider contributing by adding a new prop or enhancing the existing component.
