Solved Problem focusing page elements using [TAB]
-
@meatnordrink Feel free to report issues with Spatial Navigation to Vivaldi bugtracker. We internal Vivaldi testers need reports to get fixes.

@DoctorG Will do, thank you!

Since the two of you focus on accessibility issues much more than I do and are probably aware of the requirements and consequences, what do you think about proposing a standard set of settings e.g. for people who require a screen reader, which could be proposed to vivaldi as either an additional button during setup or as its own menu?
Of course keyboard shortcuts are a big deal in accessibility, but I do much more refer to some the behaviour of the
tabkey (Focus Inputvs.Focus All Controls), possibly a link that documents how spatial navigation and certain page actions can increase accessibility, and of course font and font size.I'm not sure that there really is a path or use case and probably most settings have a sane default, but it has just come to mind right now.
I guess this thread is as a better place than most others are to discuss this, but it's a focus shift, so feel free to start a new thread should you want to share some ideas.(And yes, I assume that large settings menus prevent or hinder accessibility, but of course choice provide it as well, so there will be no definite answer whether such a proposal is really helpful, let alone necessary or even advantageous for accessibility. But I guess that if the requirements differ, a check box that enables more fitting defaults may still be a good thing.)

@jumpsq Report that missing accessability/setting feature to bug tracker. I will confirm that.

@doctorg VB-86143
Thank you.

@jumpsq Thanks.
I supported this feature with a comment in tracker. -
@jumpsq, I'm less familiar with the pathway to Vivaldi features (I mainly just show up here to report bugs), but I do think an option during setup to enable a set of sane defaults for increase a11y is a great idea. If there's a link where I can add my support for that, please feel free to send it to me.

@meatnordrink Typically, feature requests are listed in the appropriate section and are voted for here, but it's also possible to use the bug tracker to "report" feature requests.
I believe that me reporting and @DoctorG supporting the request should be sufficient for now and will likely create the awareness needed for the issue, likely more than just another feature request thread. Of course, discussion threads have the advantage that it would be easier to include other opinions.
For transparency, I will also cite the request here so that you know what I've included. Maybe you have some comments about it or different / additional ideas; if so, go ahead
Accessibility settings
There should be either
(1) a dedicated section for accessibility settings menu, or
(2) a toggle / single button in setup screen and settings to enable settings that improve accessibilitySettings page is large, which is a huge advantage for [visually] impaired people offering configurations that are not available elsewhere, but default zoom level, font type and size, contrast settings and several others (e.g. Tab focus on forms only or other elements as well) may be most important during setup and are rather hidden in
Webpagesor elsewhere. It may be possible to have very different default settings for people who require those.
Also, page actions will offer important tools, and could in this case be positioned and advertised more prominently (i.e. possibly display a welcome page that explains their existence and functionality in short sentences if the toggle is pressed).The toggle should be easily visible, maybe not as an extra page but below ad-block settings.
Should be added for mobile as well (I will not create an extra FR since a concept for desktop can probably mostly carry over).Feel free to inquire the status of this request (VB-86143) in about 3+ months in this thread.

This inconsistency suggests a potential bug or compatibility issue in Vivaldi's handling of keyboard accessibility. It would be beneficial to file a bug report with Vivaldi's support team to address this issue promptly. Providing examples, such as the page you mentioned, can help the developers understand the problem and work towards a solution. Thank you for bringing attention to this issue

@gentrificationzolaz All is solved here.
You are talking about which page not working?
Or do you try to write posts with sort of AI?
