chempfling updated the task description for T9878: Default application starter menu is missing a11y Labels.

The next step is to get your patch in of course. Do you want to put it up for review on phabricator?
i currently try to structure and fix the a11y issues.
chempfling moved T9869: Desktop Icons should have an a11y Label from Todo to In progress on the Plasma Accessibility board.
Ok i fixed it on my local machine. Orca can now speak the desktop for me.

Labels should be done in: plasma-desktop.git:containments/desktop/package/contents/ui/FolderItemDelegate.qml
Additional:
a good startingpoint may be this:

and this

Oh no, i just found the shortcut to focus the destkop. its CTRL + F12 here. Not very intuitive.
anyway CTRL + F12 just brings me to workspace but doesnt focus an icon. this should happen too here. Best would be to focus the last active icon.
hmm now as you say it. i m not able to focus the desktop too. isnt it typical "windows" + d?
i currently cannot really test it because my KDE 5.14 Plasma Shell ignores every shortcut on desktop (also if i mark icons, now arrow, no tab, no ctrl + a, nothing). so maybe it works in theory but its just currently broken until 5.14.1 ( i read its fixed there in this version)
chempfling added a comment to T9870: Kicker "Application Overview" missing a11y Label for "apps and documentation" and "Miniprograms".

About the additional information: i found the tooltip often shows what is interesting to the user. maybe it can be configurable to append this to the menuentrys. (just an brainstorm)
its not most beautiful ;), but i hope it shows what i think.
I think about to have an shortcut what opens an dialog like in my mockup.
the dialog shows the "plasmoid" structure in an simple tree via submenus.

I think it would be awsome to not only focus the panel (because what to do on multible panels and so on) but create an "plasmoid swticher" overall.
