Hello All,

This is regarding query in keyboard timing in DHS Trusted Tester. In the
course they provided the attached example.

In some applications I observed that to rearrange the position of any
tile/list item we need to use "Alt+Shift+Arrow keys" and it's the only
mechanism available. So by considering the attached example can we fail
these kinds of rearranging? as we have only one mechanism which requires
specific keystroke timing.

Thanks & Regards!!
Hari

In the attached example, you have to hold ctrl+arrow until the item moves
to where you want it then let go of the key to "drop" it. That's a timing
problem. You have to time your drop correctly to put it where you want.

In your alt+shift+arrow example, it's not clear whether timing is needed.
Are you allowed to press alt+shift+arrow and the action happens right then
or do you have to hold that key combination? If pressing the key
combination immediately moves the tile in the list, then that's not a
timing issue. If you have to press and hold and you see the tile moving in
the list and when you let go of the keys it stops where you want it to,
that would be a timing issue.

Requiring someone to hold a key mean switch users are completely left out
and let's forget about the whole two keys

The example wasn't clear if the key combination had to be held or just
pressed. If just pressing, then it's not a timing issue.

Thanks guys for your reply.

Yes Glen, when we press the key combination i.e. alt + shift + arrow keys,
we can see the change immediately.

For example you can try this shortcut to move the tiles on start menu in
windows 10.

Thanks!
Hari
