Right now the keyboard layout does not work with a Danish keyboard layout, all special characters do not show like |.
How do I change the keyboard layout?
Can you try manually changing the alt-gr setting in the Cloud Shell Keyboard Menu? This should give you access to the special characters.

Disabled users who cannot control a mouse use the keyboard to navigate the page. How do you allow them to select the various styles (like bold etc) in ckeditor5? These elements are NOT in the tabindex of the page by default.
Tabbing through a form, I expect to be able to interact with every interactable element on a page
I see that CKEditor 5 has a list of keyboard shortcuts in their documentation. Pressing Alt + F10 (may require Fn) when the editor input area has focus moves keyboard focus to the editor toolbar. Then, keyboard arrow keys can be used to navigate the toolbar.
I am not saying that CKEditor is accessible, but it is information you may consider.
WCAG 2.1.1 says that all functionality must be available from the keyboard. Sometimes people mistakenly interpret that to mean that all interactive elements on the page must be keybaord accessible.
Here's a screenshot of ckeditor5 from their website. I'm not a ckeditor5 user but I'm assuming you're talking about the editing bar at the top.
While it's strongly encouraged to allow a keyboard user to navigate to the editing bar of ckeditor5, it's not strictly required if all the functionality of the editing bar is available via the keyboard.
For example, if I can select text then press Ctrl+B to make it bold, then the functionality of bold is available even if I can't tab to the 'B' on the editor bar.
The editing bar has a lot of stuff on it so everything would need a keyboard shortcut in order to pass WCAG 2.1.1. It looks like you can configure ckedit5 pretty extensively, https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/installation/getting-started/configuration.html
The docs on CKEditor keyboard support will list the possible keyboard controls to format text.
Text can be selected with Shift + the arrow keys
and formatted bold with Ctrl + b
for more options the menubar can be focused with Shift + F10
For web applications, the idea is to follow the desktop application’s keyboard conventions, so that users of assistive technology don’t need to learn yet another interaction paradigm.
The example to look at for rich text editors on Windows would probably be Word or Wordpad. There are two ways to format text.
Shortcut to open the menubar
The Menu bar pattern on the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG) specifically mentions rich text editors in a note:
For example, a rich text editor may have a menubar that receives focus when a shortcut key, e.g., alt + F10, is pressed while editing. In this case, pressing Escape or activating a command from the menu may return focus to the editor.
For any common pattern you should find recommendations for the keyboard interface on the APG. Since it’s platform-independent (not only for Windows), such shortcuts will only be found in notes.
Shortcuts for formatting directly
Selected text can often be formatted directly by pressing + a letter for the English abbreviation of the format, like i for Italic or b for Bold.
CKEditor supports these.
I'm writing a Firefox (web)extension. I have a browser_action in my manifest.json, with a default_popup. I want my extension to be accessible by all users, including those with vision impairment.
So I'd like to, as I change and develop things, test what it's like to (for example) interact with this feature, using only the keyboard. How do I do this? How do I focus and thus "click" the toolbar button, without a mouse?
Ideally, without actually running special screen reader software every time.

You can use commands to set a keyboard shortcut.
_execute_browser_action: works like a click on the extension's browser action
You may also add commands.update() (Firefox 60+) API to let users change that keyboard shortcut.
Thanks for considering accessibility. Just to clarify, because I don't think you meant this, but you can do keyboard testing without a screen reader. Just don't use your mouse :-) Seriously.
In my current firefox, I have an address bar, the search field, then a bunch of plugins on a toolbar.
On a PC (should be similar for a Mac, but Cmd instead of Ctrl):
I can move my keyboard focus to the address bar with alt+d or ctrl+L (cmd+L)
I can move my keyboard focus to the search field with ctrl+k (cmd+k)
Interestingly enough, I could not get my focus on the toolbar. I could have sworn I could tab from the address field, to the search field, to the toolbar, but it's not working now.
If you can get your focus there, then you should be able to use the left/right arrows to move between tools and then space/enter to select the tool.
If you want to play with a screen reader, NVDA is free.
I am using Phabricator for a long time. It was working fine until I mistakenly press some key combination on my keyboard. Now it shows me "Messages" section all the time (Code review mode, tickets details mode and etc.). It cuts a lot of useful space.
I tried to find answer on 'Phabricator User Documentation' but no success.
Does anybody know how to hide "Messages" section?
I am using Safari 8.0.7 on OS X 10.10.4.
Use "?" to bring up keyboard shortcuts for that screen.
"\" toggles the Conpherence panel on/off.
I am using Qt (Embedded Linux) and I want to hide the shortcuts displayed right next to the menu items. I still want to use the shortcuts though.
ie;
Quit Ctrl+Q
I want to get rid of the "Ctrl+Q" part of it.
Quit
As far as I know that is not directly possible.
What you could do, though, is to not set any shortcuts for your menu items, and instead create the shortcuts separately using QShortcut. Then they won't appear next to any menu items, since they won't be associated with any.
I'm newer in Flex and I would like to disable the Navigation Bar and the bookmarks tab cause I need to show a lot of information so I really need to have as much space as it's possible. I do not know what I can do.
Thanks in advance,
Alicia
Do you mean the navigation and bookmarks in the browser?
Depending on the content of your application, you could potentially use full screen mode, but that has some restrictions around keyboard input (only some keys are allowed such as arrow keys, enter key etc)
Otherwise you may just need to prompt the user to turn their browser to full-screen so that they can see as much of the app as possible.
Browser full-screen/maximise is different from Flash full-screen as all keyboard input is still possible.
As far as I know there wouldn't be a way to actually modify the appearance of the browser from within a Flash application.
