2 years ago @JasonLG1979, probably not good place to ask this, but I am not sure where to. From accessibility point of view, is it possible to somehow trigger, by keyboard, information about playing song? Ideal would be to trigger notification (as it is displayed when song changes). Or any other way so I can see title and author of the song for a few seconds. Thank you for your kind help.

2 years ago Well, song change notifications are a thing for some players, although they have fallen out of use in favor of MPRIS widgets. That would be something to talk about with the devs of the players of your choice. As far as a global shortcut goes that's out of scope. You however can navagate GNOME Shell via a keyboard and my extension does have various keyboard shortcuts as detailed in the wiki.

2 years ago Thank you to answer this quickly. I do not need any notification per se. Is there a way to display this info on top doc? Or anywhere so it is visible when song is playing without moving mouse? Maybe you know. Sorry to bother.

2 years ago It's not the greatest experience but you can use the arrow keys to navagate GNOME Shell.

2 years ago As far as having it be permanently displayed, that is not possible with this extension.
I need help testing the accessibility of this extension. I've tried my best to make this extension accessible to persons with disabilities by providing keyboard shortcuts, mouse actions and making it so that the screen reader will read aloud the player's name and the track's artist and title and what not but I'm unsure if what I've done is enough and/or fits with convention. I guess what I would like is an accessibility audit by someone who actually uses accessibility features on a regular basis and is versed in the conventions. Knowing how to code would be helpful but not necessary.
