GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 793616
GtkShortcutsWindow is lacking proper accessibility support
Last modified: 2018-05-02 19:52:53 UTC
By quickly skimming the docs GtkShortcutsWindow and related widgets do implement some ATK interfaces however I find it not very usefull for accessibility purposes. From my point of view (I am a screen reader user) list of shortcuts displayed inside the GtkShortcutsWindow should be all reachable using the keyboard similar how we can browse an icons view. The only way on how I can discover these shortcuts is by using so called flat review feature of orca. The keyboard shortcuts display might resemble a gried i.e. the individual shortcuts might be arranged left to right up to bottom I usually have to read the screen word by word to discover what's written there. Even with this I have to repeat more times in order to really comprehend which shortcut corresponds with which action. To put it very gently I have to say this is not very intuitive. I would welcome some kind of focus navigation within GtkShortcutsWindow. If you need a hint where to see this in action, then activate Keyboard shortcuts in the top pannel menu when running Evince.
