#Blind users, users that rely heavily on #keyboardNavigation or anyone else with a preference on that matter (please indicate what applies in the comments):

Do you have a preference for or comments on the format of URLs? During user research, we have learned that URLs that are easy to handle are a good thing.

We are currently considering to introduce URLs that do not need more reserved usernames in #Forgejo, such as codeberg.org/-/something/ or codeberg.org/_something/.

Ainda não me inteirei sobre a polêmica da vez sobre a Mozilla e o Firefox. Por conta das anteriores, já havia migrado para forks dele; atualmente, uso o Zen Browser, mas de forma secundária (apenas quando preciso usar alguma extensão).

Na verdade, meu navegador padrão é, desde 2022, o qutebrowser. Ele é FOSS, bem minimalista, mas com um caminhão de funcionalidades que pode agradar alguns perfis.

Calling all blind and visually impaired Mastodon users! I'm looking to switch from Inoreader to a self-hosted RSS reader to save money. Can you recommend any accessible options with robust features?

I'd love to hear about your experiences with:
• Screen reader compatibility
• Keyboard navigation
• Customizable layouts
• Mobile accessibility

Any tips for setting up and maintaining a self-hosted reader as a blind user would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your insights!

#BlindTech friends, especially #WindowsUsers, I need to vent and ask if you've had similar experiences! 😓

I just had a maddening interaction with the WinCam screen recording app. Here's what happened:

1. Opened WinCam settings
2. Started tabbing through options
3. Didn't realize I was on the hotkeys tab
4. Suddenly, my #ScreenReader got stuck in an edit box for assigning a shortcut to start recording
5. Nothing would get me out - not even using my mini touchscreen display
6. I tried using the JAWS Touch Cursor shortcut and even the special app keys on my wireless keyboard, but WinCam just assigned them as new shortcuts!
7. Finally had to use a wireless mouse, moving and clicking randomly until I escaped the edit box

This lack of keyboard accessibility in that specific area is infuriating! Interestingly, other than this issue, the WinCam app is very accessible overall.

Have any of you encountered similar "keyboard traps" or accessibility issues in any software, not just recording apps? How did you handle it?

What strategies do you use when you get stuck in an inaccessible part of an application? Any clever workarounds or tools you've found helpful?

Also, I'm curious: Can anyone recommend other accessible screen recording apps for Windows? I bought a WinCam license for usability testing, thinking it was the most accessible option, but I'd love to know if there are other good choices out there.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from other Windows users, but all experiences are welcome. Let's share our knowledge and maybe help developers understand our needs better!

Okay so one thing about Linux I absolutely love. So, you know how in Windows, your cursor is always pointing to the letter to the left of what your screen reader says, so that you backspace the thing to the left of what it says? Well, Linux works a little more like the Mac. If you move by word, it works like the mac, where you can be before or after the word. So, if I press Control + Left arrow right now, with the text "now," with a comma after the w, it said "now," with the cursor on N, so if I backspace, it deletes the space before the N. But if I Control + Right arrow, it puts the cursor after the comma, so that if I backspace, it deletes the comma after the W.

Now, if I use arrows by themselves, it moves letter by letter, and acts just like windows. I really like this because if I select a word, it only selects the word, and not the space after the word, like stupid Windows does. I hate that so much! Now, this also means that it will select the punctuation after words too, so do be careful still. But a word is a word, not a word and the space afterwards, and selecting still follows the same rules of selecting movement just like Windows, but with its own way of moving throughout words. I'm sure I didn't explain this well enough, sorry.
