7. The database system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first keyboard input corresponds to a spacebar on the keyboard of the device, and

the second keyboard input corresponds to an arrow key on the keyboard of the device.

8. The database system of claim 1 , the instructions further configurable to cause the database system to:

cause display of, responsive to processing the first keyboard input, a visual indication in association with a handle of the first edge, the visual indication indicating that the first edge is in the re-configurable state.

9. A method for processing keyboard input to cause re-sizing of items in a user interface of a web browser-based application, the method comprising:

causing display of, in a user interface on a display of a device, a bounding window of a web browser, the bounding window comprising a presentation of items, each item being a visual representation of data associated with an object stored in a database of a database system, an outer boundary of a first one of the items being defined at least in part by a first edge, the first edge having a first relative position with respect to other items displayed in the user interface;

processing first keyboard input indicating a first one or more keystrokes on a keyboard of the device, the first keyboard input received over a data network from the device;

causing, responsive to processing the first keyboard input, the first edge to be transformed to a re-configurable state;

causing, responsive to the first edge being transformed to the re-configurable state, a source code component of a web page of a web browser-based application to indicate the transformation;

causing, via the source code component, the device to transmit auditory output comprising:

a narration of a first user interaction corresponding to the first keyboard input, and

an instruction to enter further keyboard input to re-size the first item;

processing second keyboard input indicating a second one or more keystrokes on the keyboard of the device, the second keyboard input received over the data network from the device; and

causing, responsive to processing the second keyboard input, a size of the first item to be changed by causing the first edge to move from the first relative position to a second relative position with respect to the other items displayed in the user interface.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first item includes a second edge connected with the first edge, the second edge being connected with the first edge at a corner of the first item, the second edge being configured to be transformed to the re-configurable state when the first edge is transformed to the re-configurable state.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein:

the first item has a rectangular shape,

the first edge is a right edge of the first item, and

the second edge is a bottom edge of the first item.

12. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the instruction to enter further keyboard input comprises an instruction to enter the second keyboard input.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the auditory output corresponds to content of the source code component.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the source code component is a HyperText Markup Language (HTML)<div> having an aria attribute configured to cause the content to be accessible to a screen reader of the device.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

the first keyboard input corresponds to a spacebar on the keyboard of the device, and

the second keyboard input corresponds to an arrow key on the keyboard of the device.

16. A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code capable of being executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising instructions configurable to cause:

displaying, in a user interface on a display of a device, a bounding window of a web browser, the bounding window comprising a presentation of items, each item being a visual representation of data associated with an object stored in a database of a database system, an outer boundary of a first one of the items being defined at least in part by a first edge, the first edge having a first relative position with respect to other items displayed in the user interface;

processing first keyboard input indicating a first one or more keystrokes on a keyboard of the device, the first keyboard input received over a data network from the device;

transforming, responsive to processing the first keyboard input, the first edge to a re-configurable state;

responsive to the first edge being transformed to the re-configurable state, indicating the transformation using a source code component of a web page of a web browser-based application;

transmitting, by the device and via the source code component, auditory output comprising:

a narration of a first user interaction corresponding to the first keyboard input, and

an instruction to enter further keyboard input to re-size the first item;

processing second keyboard input indicating a second one or more keystrokes on the keyboard of the device, the second keyboard input received over the data network from the device; and

changing, responsive to processing the second keyboard input, a size of the first item by causing the first edge to move from the first relative position to a second relative position with respect to the other items displayed in the user interface.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the first item includes a second edge connected with the first edge, the second edge being connected with the first edge at a corner of the first item, the second edge being configured to be transformed to the re-configurable state when the first edge is transformed to the re-configurable state.
