Description

Horizontal Parsons problems lack essential accessibility features.

Both block areas should be tab stops. Within an area, arrows should move from block to block and space/enter should move the block to the other area.

There also should be non-visual feedback while navigating between blocks and when blocks are moved.

Research direction

Start at the Horizontal Parsons implementation and trace how its two block areas and individual blocks handle focus, keyboard input, and movement. Add keyboard navigation, block movement with Space or Enter, and non-visual feedback for navigation and moves; verify the behavior with the relevant existing checks for Horizontal Parsons.
