Operable
WCAG 2.5.7
Dragging Movements
Any drag operation must have a non-dragging alternative (buttons, form controls). New in WCAG 2.2. Affects users who can't perform precise pointer movements.
In plain terms
Anything you drag, like a slider, must also work with a simple tap or click, for people who can't drag precisely.
Why this matters
Sliders, drag-to-reorder lists, and map panning lock out anyone who can't perform a sustained, precise drag — including many people using a head pointer, switch, or trembling hand.
How to detect
Quick check
For every drag interaction, look for an equivalent that works with single taps or clicks (buttons, a number field, arrow controls). If dragging is the only way, it fails.
