Context
All blind people rely on keyboard shortcuts because they can't use the mouse.

Describe the feature you have in mind
To move a user from one channel to another, you'll do :

The behaviour I propose here is the same used in the Thunderbird mail client to move message from one folder to another with the keyboard.
You have for example the following room in your Mumble server
2.1 Channel 1
2.2 Channel 2, with sub-channel 3 and 4
Place the focus on an user with the keyboard or the mouse.
Open the contextual menu where you'll find a move item.
Select move and press enter to open a sub-menu containing all the top rooms. Here channel 1 and 2.
Two possibilities:
7.1 Select channel 1 to move the user to channel 1.
7.2 Select channel 2 to open the channel 2 sub-menu where you'll find this 3 items, channel 2, channel 3 or channel 4.

Additional context
Without this, it's impossible for a blind user to move another user to a dedicated room because he can't use drag and drop.

As far as I can tell, this is a duplicate of #2322

Correct - However, as the present issue has more votes for it, I'll close the original issuebin favor of this one.

The new stable version of Mumble will add a user context menu entry to "Move To Own Channel" which should be a nice workaround until we implement a proper dialog for this. I will be therefore changing the title of this issue to reflect that.
