Consider A11y in the editor | OS X Accessibility API #2347

Open kleinerpirat opened 1 year ago

kleinerpirat commented 1 year ago

A forum user notified me the mac app PopClip - a program that adds a popover menu for selected text - isn't working in Anki. This is because we're currently not following Apple's accessibility protocols / reporting our UI content to the accessibility API.

Here's a discussion on that in the PopClip forum: https://forum.popclip.app/t/popclip-not-working-in-anki/563/4

I consider this a relatively low priority while we're redesigning the UI, but if someone finds the time to evaluate the effort required to make Anki's webviews more accessible, please chime in!

Heads-up @hgiesel :v:

I suspect this is something that needs to be solved by Qt rather than us, but if there's some easy solution I'm not aware of, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
