Suggestion: Add new post to column button (accessibility)

[livvyfox]

Add new post to column button is at the end of the column, which means tabbing thought all the content in the column when using a screenreader.

Could the Add new post to column button be available at the start of each column too? Sighted users would benefit too as the columns grow and they have to scroll to the bottom to add a new post.

We will look into this, and seek some wider feedback from the funders of the project.

Most scenarios of usage involve the collaborators / students/learners reading the content thats there and adding to it, however we know there are also some that do not require that.

To summarise, we appreciate the purpose behind this request.

However, a row of add buttons along the top would a) take away some space and b) be extra content for a screen-reader or user using keyboard to have to navigate through.

After some internal discussion, we'd like to suggest the following, to see what people might think:

• A new single button, using the "add" icon, above the column headers, and if the groups dropdown is showing, to be on the same level as that.
• This button would open the new post modal, but as it's not from a column, the underlying javascript needs to detect this, and show an extra dropdown to select which column to add the post to.

This would then be visually compact but would still give an easier route to adding a post to those using assistive technology.
