Description
Parent
Follow-up from #32591 / PR #37436 (Content Drive keybindings).
Problem
Moving items between folders in Content Drive is pointer-only. It is a drag from a listing row
onto a tree node, and there is no keyboard equivalent — no "Move to…" in the context menu that a
keyboard user can reach, no cut/paste pair.
#37436 made the listing keyboard-operable end to end: a roving tab stop reaches it, arrows walk it,
Shift + Arrow builds a range, and Escape backs out. A user can now select exactly the items they
want without a mouse and then has nowhere to go with them. That is the accessibility gap the
keyboard work made visible rather than one it introduced.
What "done" looks like
A keyboard-reachable path from a selection to a destination folder. Options, roughly in order of
cost:
- a "Move to…" entry in the row context menu (the menu is already keyboard-reachable via the
context-menu key) opening the existing folder picker - a cut/paste pair scoped to the listing
- arrow-key navigation of the sidebar tree with an explicit "move selection here" action
Whichever is chosen must announce the outcome, not only perform it.

Research direction
Start in core-web/libs/ui/src/lib/components/dot-folder-list-view/ and core-web/libs/portlets/dot-content-drive/portlet/; trace how keyboard selection and the existing folder picker are wired. Review docs/frontend/KEYBOARD_SHORTCUTS.md and the shortcut registry if a shortcut is considered. Done means a keyboard-reachable move path exists and announces its outcome.
