    I would consider checking out what MS Word does for dealing with images in things like powerpoint. You'll at least get the idea of some keyboard controls you may wish to accomplish.

  5. [cameron] curious if we have best practices documented somewhere about click target size on desktop web
  6. [cameron] use case would be mouse users with poor motor control

    [dpogue] Using the touch standards of 44px to 48px is probably a good place to start

    I am always making a big padding for clickable elements both desktop and especially on phones or small buttons. If you have a close button which is just an X icon, then you have made a bigger clickable area.

    I never seen any official recomendations in terms of numbers here, just make sure it is easy to aim for different users
