FeedSidebar accessibility fixes #7

Closed cfinke closed 13 years ago

cfinke commented 13 years ago

Patch from Marco Zehe:

"A number of people in the blindness community have asked me about how to get a simple, intuitive feeds extension that does things for them similarly to IE 7: Get the feeds in a tree and how they can discern read from unread feed items etc.

FeedSidebar is IMO the perfect choice. However it has a few accessibility issues:

  1. Some controls in the Options file aren't properly labelled. I corrected those easily.
  2. It is not possible to open the feed items using the keyboard. I implemented a possible solution in the attached patch, but am not happy with this approach. Perhaps you have a better idea! The idea is to do this, similar to what Firefox does in general:
    1. Enter opens a feed item in the current tab.
    2. Ctrl+Enter opens the current feed item in a new tab.
    3. Shift+Enter opens the current feed item in a new window.

The above are taken directly from Firefox, where Enter opens a link in the current tab, Ctrl+Enter opens it in a new tab, and Shift+Enter opens it in a new window."
