Feature #10: Support the NVDA screen reader
NVDA's flat review mode doesn't read the MainWindow well
100%
Description
As some MUD clients designed for accessibility, CocoMUD client provides a window with two different areas in its main frame:
- An editable text field which is used to type and send comments to the server.
- A read-only text field where the MUD output is captured and displayed.
A user with a screen reader can go through one window to the next using the tab key. Once in the read-only text field, the user can browse through the text as usual, with the arrow keys and navigation keys, select and copy interesting content, and so on.
MUD clients without this feature, however, are usually accessed through a review mode that displays the text on screen as in a virtual frame. NVDA uses a flat review mode. CocoMUD client would need to support both of these means to be accessible.
For the time being (09-19-2016, 45e6bcc71ca3dbcd0aa03df942f38f1f3b3366a8), NVDA's flat review mode in the main window displays the beginning of the output field, but not the end, and can stop working altogether after some time. The cause of this problem hasn't yet be found.
