I'm using an inline CKEditor 5 in a form that needs to be accessible for the visually impaired. Is there a way to focus buttons of the editor without using a mouse?
Most of the buttons that I've selected for the editor don't have a shortcut associated with them, so tabbing to the button seems to be the only way to press it, but tabbing only focuses the text field, not the buttons:
Found an answer: Left Alt + F10 is widely used by visually impaired and can be used to focus the toolbar.

I need to take screenshots of a web page. I want to highlight certain areas of the page before taking the screenshot. I am visually impaired, so using the mouse is out of the question.
I generally use shift and the arrow keys to select text. While this works on web pages, the text is selected, but not highlighted. IE I know it is selected, but someone who will look at the screenshot won't be able to see it.
Q: is there a way of highlighting text on a web page using the keyboard?
I am using Windows 11 with NVDA as my screen reader.
This appears to be possible with Google Chrome if the accessibility option "Navigate pages with a text cursor" is enabled—also known as "caret browsing". Here is a Google Chrome help article about it: "Use a text cursor to navigate & select text".
The article states that this setting can be toggled by pressing F7, or by opening the "Customize and control Google Chrome" menu, opening "Settings", navigating to the "Advanced" tab, then selecting "Accessibility".
This mode allows you to use the arrow keys to move the text cursor around the page, similar to if you were editing a block of text. Text can be visually highlighted by navigating to the start of the text you want to highlight, holding the Shift key, and then arrowing to the end of the text.
I'm not sure how well this will work in conjunction with NVDA though.
Just as the title says.
I cant find ANYTHING for this particular usecase Online.
This is in context of a website aiming to be AA WCAG 2.0 conform.
I have non-focussable text alongside focussable textinputs inside of a single view.
I can TAB through the focussable textinputs, but I cant read out the textfields inbetween. When I press "arrow down" while having the focus on the textinput I get "empty field" from NVDA. Most shortcuts also unfortunately produce text in the textinputfield instead of executing the associated behavior in NVDA.
Is there any way have the keystrokes being recognized as commands instead of input for the textfield? Is there any keyboard shortcut telling NVDA to behave like this?
Under the hood, NVDA auto switches to Forms mode, so what you're getting is the correct behaviour. if that text is related to the field, then you should use aria-describedby="[id of text]", on the form element.
I wouldn't be looking at anything that changes the default behaviour of how it works, as this will undoubtedly cause issues, for end users.
Could you not put that text in a tooltip, that is only shown when a user tabs to an interactive icon, next to the input (using the aria-describedby attribute too)?
In SceneBuilder it is possible to put TextField inside a Button:
Is it for just decorative purposes or it has some functionality like when clicking button it gets child info and so on? If it has some functionality, are there any examples?
From the documentation:
A simple button control. The button control can contain text and/or a
graphic.
The graphic is changeable for every subclass of Labeled.
You can put any node as graphic into e. g. the button. It gives you a very high level of customization.
A good example is the customization of the header of a TitledPane.
As for your concrete example I see no advantage, rather a disadvantage as it's not common to have a textfield inside a button. But you nevery know with what people come up with.
I followed this great example, but when I use the arrow key to go through the customized QCompleter dropdown list item, the item does not appear in the customized line editor (it is highlighted in blue in the dropdown list). when I hit the enter button, the item will appear in the line editor highlighted in blue. then i have to hit the enter button again to let the editor take the item.
this is different from how QCompleter behaves. in QCompleter, when using the arrow key to go through the items, they will automatically appear in the editor without highlight. when hitting the enter button, the editor will take the item.
I spent a lot of time debugging, but couldn't figure out what's wrong.
I think this is a bug as described here: QTBUG-3745. There you can also find a workaround.
I'm trying to design a UI in Qt and I can't find anywhere in the designer a button which can be "droped down" like combobox. What I mean by that is that I would like to have this button with his "default" option choosen so if I like it I would have to just click on it but if I would like to choose different option I would be able to clik the little arrow on the right side of this button and then pick option suitable for me at that moment.
You're looking for a QToolButton that has a set of actions or a menu set on it. From the documentation, the QToolButton::ToolButtonPopupMode...
Describes how a menu should be popped up for tool buttons that has a menu set or contains a list of actions.
Of it's values, the two that I see most frequently are DelayedPopup:
After pressing and holding the tool button down for a certain amount of time (the timeout is style dependant, see QStyle::SH_ToolButton_PopupDelay), the menu is displayed. A typical application example is the "back" button in some web browsers's tool bars. If the user clicks it, the browser simply browses back to the previous page. If the user presses and holds the button down for a while, the tool button shows a menu containing the current history list
And MenuButtonPopup:
In this mode the tool button displays a special arrow to indicate that a menu is present. The menu is displayed when the arrow part of the button is pressed.
