Advanced settings editor inaccessible to screen readers
Posted: 2024 Mar 14, 14:30
Hi,
I'm a fully blind xplorer² Ultimate user, and want to use the advance settings editor. However, it's not accessible with my screen reader, NVDA.
You can get NVDA from https://nvaccess.org/download. The extreme basics of keyboard navigation (in case you're not already aware) are:
tab or shift+tab: moves between controls (e.g., from an OK button to a cancel button).
up/down arrow: move up and down through a list, slider, or tree view.
left/right arrow: collapse or expand items in a tree view, or move through a list / slider in some cases.
All four arrow keys in a text field: moves your cursor.
It would be great if the advanced settings editor could be operated in this way. I'd recommend looking at the IAccessible interface (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... accessible), and how to set proper accessibility names and roles.
Thanks.
