General accessibility questions
We received several general accessibility questions from a blind user, related to the accessibility handbook page.
* How to select a line (cres/dim)? With Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Arrow key, there is no way to get a line selected.
* How to regain the selected note in a score after for instance having gone to the menu. Ctrl+Home brings you back to the start of a score.
* Use case: when playing a score and you hear a wrong pitch, you would stop playback and select the note with the mouse and fix it. How would this work if you were using the keyboard only. Would there be a keystroke which can tell you like 'where am I' and work your way from there with the keyboard.
The answers should be reflected in the documentation.
Comments
I definitiely plan a round of updates to that page by release.
Meanwhile, the answers to those questions as best as I know them (might want to check with Andrei):
1) As far as I know, you cannot currently select lines with the keyboard. Same for most other markings, but other types of markings should at least read automatically when you navigate to the notes they are attached to. Lines are different, not sure if / when they might be read.
2) Selection *should* be retained and is for me. Which menu, and how are they leaving it? If I select something, press Alt+E, navigate down, then hit Esc twice to leave the menu, I still have my selection. And same if I actually active a menu item (for instance, Alt+E, navigate down to Copy, menu goes away, selection is retained. Is there some specific sequence they are seeing where it is lost?
3) Simialr story with playback. Selection should still be intact after playback, so as you start navigating from there, the status bar should report location. Or maybe they mean, a way to find the location of the playback, not of the selection? That I don't think is currently possible. Would make a good enhancement for sure.
