The situation improved a lot over the last plasma versions. I close this til i can come up with something more concrete.

I guess what marco meant was that one needs to be able to trigger the actions in the drawers and the action buttons using the keyboard.

Now it should be working with the Alt+Letter shortcut.

I guess you can make sure it works fine using Discover or the Kirigami Gallery applications.

This seems to work now quite well.

This seems to be fixed. Orca reworked the way how shortcuts are grabbed and speech is interrupted on focus change. I assume this fixed it.

I finally was able to do a detailed test.
Works like a charm. Thanks a lot :)! good work.

Towards the end s/Summery/Summary/

if someone is interested in i just wrote some blog posts about the accessibility tools of KDE Plasma and its integration of assistive technologys:

cool :). So the screenreader can read them automatical when they appear on screen? or is the "history" list applet of last notifications now accessible?

I think this is related to Task 14388

Fixed in 5.25

I still see this issue in KCM. i. e. Notifications or User section is not accessible at all. I think the focus is broken somehow.

Ah sorry, i just moved the tasks i tested to "done" section. i will close them.
Thanks!

It seems to be navigate able now. But orca is not able to read the widgets. i think the focus chain is broken somehow. i have to investigate this.

The Applet seems now be navigate able but maybe the focus handling is broken or there are missing accessibility roles / names as orca cannot read it. I will investigate.

Seems the Magnification was rewritten to fix almost any glitches i found.
Works awsome in Plasma 5.25.

This is fixed in Plasma 5.25 and works quite awesome.

Howdy Carl,

As the System Settings are currently the biggest issue, can i help here somehow?

I missed that one as well.
How can i test it?

this is fixed in most my current KDE Plasma 5.24.x installation

Seems that most of the KCM Setting "Pages" are not accessible anymore since KDE Plasma 5.21
Sadly blind people are not able to configure the system properly with this. So its something like an "accessibility show stopper"
@ognarb noted in IRC to me that the focus might not forwarded properly to to active control.

looool you are damn right XD

• Alt + XXX combinations are used for the menu bar of the current application

Firefox or Thunderbird use Alt+M.
Ctrl + M is used in most KDE applications to display/hide a menu bar, though at least Konsole differs here with Ctrl+Shift+M.
