[Accessibility] No focus when visiting hfs

[Timtam]

Right now, when using HFS 0.52.7 with a screen reader like the freely available NVDA, visiting the page will cause the web interface to not get auto-focused. Instead you'll have to press tab or re-focus the window once by tabbing out and back in. That is kinda abnormal behaviour as that isn't what happens with any other webpage.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch NVDA
2. Go to 'https://hoard.reaperaccessibility.com
3. Notice how you don't get any speech feedback although the webpage has loaded.

Describe the bug

I don't know what exactly causes this issue, but its a little bit annoying as we'll have to deal with alot of people who might not know how to properly handle this behaviour. As described above, the auto-focus doesn't seem to work well. Maybe focus should be moved manually after finishing the web page load to the very first element of the UI, e.g. the navigation or something?

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• HFS Version 0.52.7
• Browser Chrome (it seems to work on Firefox)
• Screen Reader NVDA (latest alpha)

I use a mac and make my tests with VoiceOver, I cannot install nvda. But i noticed that at start the focus is on a hidden element, that may be the cause. I made a fix. Can you give me a feedback to my solution? 0.53.0-alpha2.2 hfs-linux.zip

not sure if you are using binary or npx

[Timtam]

I'm running via npx since i'm running on ARM Linux. Could you publish it via npx so that I can give it a try? Thanks!

[rejetto]

sure, you can get it with npx hfs@exp

[Timtam]

Thanks. Yep, that seems to have fixed the error. Thanks alot!

[rejetto]
