Accessibility

[JohnMcLear]

Merging on 7th of April. Get your complaints in BEFORE then.

Based on the notes at: http://john.primarypad.com/ogf-24-03-15

Designed to resolve: #1803

• Use Alt Keys to Access Editbar
• Use Arrow keys to Navigate Editbar
• Use Alt Keys to access Chat etc.
• Provide a usable screen reader experience (ARIA specs) (Mostly for visually impaired hombres)
• Provide fonts suitable for dyslexic users

New tasks as per: https://beta.etherpad.org/p/pvagner%27s_test

• Make Timeslider Accessible
• Show users part is not intuitive
• Additional Keypresses need to be documented in the WIki
• Hover on buttons is not consistent due to new titles
• Pressing on Import/Export button seems to lose focus
• Make Alt C work from anywhere
• Alt F9 should only work WITH Alt key
• Make Escape & Alt Keys work from anywhere (not just pad)
• Ensure left/right arrow keys don't steal focus when on inputs.
• High Contrast UI - Available through ep_themes
• Include Open Dyslexic - "Enable Dyslexic(lulz) friendly font" (prolly a pluigin)
• Fix Good/Bad & Smiley face instead of Good/Bad - Click event with more info including reading score etc. (Blahblahbblahbhlalalalal)
• Allow left-right arrow keys to cycle from start > end > start again infinitely.
• Orca and FF 3.14 says the name of the element on focus <-- I run unity which doesn't allow Orca to be easily updated. I might have to resolve this bug once Orca stable lands on Ubuntu unless someone can jump in and resolve that runs Gnome 3 <-- getting a VM to help w/ this -- Orca test is on hold, doing JAWS first.
• Can't return to pad from Timeslider
• Use Control Shift 2 instead of Alt Shift A
• Provide a nice experience for Showing Authors of a line (curent MVP uses Ctrl-Shift-2, try this!)
• Test with JAWS
• Write tests for keystrokes -- Is this possible? Looks like it might just be! (see bold.js)
• Provide in app documentation?
• Change Font on Timeslider
• High Contrast on Timeslider (ep_themes)
• Put some Aria feedback type values on the timeslider so when a revision is moved backwards/forward the screen reader speaks the new revision value and date/time. Also consider putting aria values on the pad contents so the pad contents is spoken to the reader..

Please note Alt A is now Alt Shift A as per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1149579

Thinking this for a setting: https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/857/0*4QM6Tc6smxr9IWR-.png

On by default

"Keyboard shortcuts" would be a page to a rendered tab of HTML page w/ accessibility controls on built from the Wiki?

Although a user would need to know Alt F9 to get to them so that wouldn't work..

What about a link in the default pad text that points to accessibility? Would only be useful on first pad creation/load and not to pads that have modified contents...

Alt Shift A is now Control Shift 2...
