tota11y needs keyboard and screen reader accessibility about tota11y HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes x10000. It's really unfortunate (and somewhat ironic) that the tool is lacking in that regard.

The main is reason is that annotations, which are the core feature of tota11y, do not place themselves too close in the DOM to the element they are labeling. Because of this, it's tricky to provide that information to screen-readers.

I've got a couple clever solutions on some local branches that I'll be shipping soon.

Thank you for the specific suggestions though.

Wanted to give an update here.

I've been making a number of changes on a local "a11y" branch, more specifically I've made the list of plugins keyboard accessible by using real checkboxes and a number of button styles.

I plan on making the info panel accessible next, then I'll be tackling annotations. It's coming along quite nicely, though!

Hey @deborahgu - have a look at #71 for some good progress. Annotations are tricky, but I think we're getting there.

Now that #71 has landed things are a lot better. Still, if there's anything small we can do better, let us know!
