Hi @Amelie52,

without an independent example, it is impossible for us to know what is going on.

Here is a boilerplate you can build on: https://codesandbox.io/s/k260nyxq9v

Hi @alexreardon,

No problem, I made two examples.

One without portal :
https://codesandbox.io/s/olk8m320lq

And one with portal :
https://codesandbox.io/s/3465m7xmw6

On the first example, you can drag an item with keys tab, space and arrows but, on the second example, you can't move with arrows.

Hi,

I have the same issue. Also the drag and drop on mobile (https://codesandbox.io/s/3465m7xmw6) is not working at all.

In my case I'm not using React modal, but have the same problem when I use react portal

PS: here is a demo whitout React Modal https://codesandbox.io/s/61qp96q7kk

regarding the modal, i am a thinking that it is caused by react-bootstrap.

Here is our portal example that works fine with keyboard: https://react-beautiful-dnd.netlify.com/?selectedKind=Portals&selectedStory=Using%20your%20own%20portal&full=0&addons=1&stories=1&panelRight=0&addonPanel=storybook%2Factions%2Factions-panel

I can see what the issue is. react-overlays/Modal.js (which is what react-bootstrap uses) is stealing focus from the draggable when it moves into the portal:

https://github.com/react-bootstrap/react-overlays/blob/master/src/Modal.js#L516

try opting out of this behaviour using the enforceFocus prop.

Let me know how you go

enforceFocus={false} works, thanks a lot 👍
