Hey! Got the app because of this post. I do have one question. When I activate it using the shortcut and I press arrow keys, I hear a click. I assume this means something is being selected. However the focus doesn’t seem to move to the relevant control or nothing is being announced with VoiceOver. Am I doing something wrong here? I can explore with the VO cursor, but I think it would be even better if pressing the arrows actually announced what you’re selecting. Or is the update not out yet?
@talon Hey Talon — if you’ve installed version 1.12, VoiceOver support should already be working. To be honest, I haven’t had much hands-on experience with VoiceOver so far, so it’s very possible that it doesn’t work exactly as it should in all places. In that case, I’d really appreciate any pointers from you on where I could improve the VoiceOver behaviour! 😊 (→ martin@appahead.studio)
Hey. So most things do work fine. The settings work great! I set my hotkey to cmd+opt+tab. When I press that, the window/overlay opens and I can navigate the window with the VoiceOver cursor. This is great. However when I press the arrow keys, it makes a clicking sound, and sometimes it says something such as "Start playback selected button" when I select it using the arrow keys, and "Start playback button" when I move off of it. I assume the arrows actually select different buttons in the menu, and tab navigates through the different categories? When I press tab, the newly selected button reads. However when I press the arrows, I only hear the click from the app, and VoiceOver does not announce what I have selected this way. The only way I hear the button I’m selecting is by using the VoiceOver navigation commands. Sometimes I do hear the VoiceOver keyboard focus change click, so it is possible that you’re already setting the keyboard focus to the relevant control, though this only seems to happen when I have just opened the overlay. When I press tab, VoiceOver seems to get lost. I’m not sure if this is something that you can actually fix, though I assume it should be possible. My Mac app dev experience is very limited sorry about that.
