Question for those who use #screenreaders (specifically #nvda with Firefox). How do you get the screenreader to announce the Firefox developer tools? All I seem to get is "Developer Tools frame, Inspector Panel frame, Markup View frame" and no announcement of the actual HTML displayed in the Inspector panel.

Navigating with the keyboard (arrow keys) doesn't announce anything either, nor does NVDA + arrow keys.

Retoots would be appreciated!

NV Access

The simplest way is to inspect a specific element. If the element is focusable, tab to it and press the context menu (AKA applications) key. If it isn't focusable, route the mouse to it (NVDA+numpad divide for desktop keyboard or NVDA+shift+m for laptop), right click (numpad multiply or NVDA+]). From the context menu, choose "Inspect" (access key q). Then tab 4 times to get to the markup tree. (I just had a discussion with a Mozilla dev & hopefully it can be improved!)
