Findings with Orca in Mixxx 2.3 beta on Ubuntu Studio 20.04

opening Preferences, pressing Tab

========= Live Broadcasting: (* focused widget [spoken text])

So IMO a necessary first step is to make sure all pages can be navigated with Tab and arrow keys. From a first look, I think this involves restructuring some page layouts by removing all not strictly necessary wrappers, but also review pages that dynamically populated in C++.

Then we need to assign tabstops to generate a predictable Tab order (this would help ALL users btw).

After that, let's look into https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qaccessible.html ...

well, have to say my test wasn't very efficient, mostly due to Orca being unreliable I guess. Some widgets are described, some aren't. When I reverse the cycle with Shift+Tab, some widgets are described while others described earlier aren't anymore.
