r68449 r68450 68 68 </para> 69 69 </chapter> 70 71 <chapter> 72 <title>General concept</title> 73 <para> 74 This chapter describes the general navigation and accessibility concept. We should note that not every detail of this 75 concept is already implemented and not every widget in our project already follows that concept. There is still large work 76 to be done in that regard. But in the end whole the project should correspond to this concept. 77 </para> 78 <para> 79 In short, every application window of our project should be navigated using the following approaches: 80 <itemizedlist> 81 <listitem><para>Mouse Navigation</para></listitem> 82 <listitem><para>Keyboard Navigation</para></listitem> 83 <listitem><para>Screen-reader Navigation</para></listitem> 84 </itemizedlist> 85 </para> 86 <sect1> 87 <title>Mouse Navigation</title> 88 <itemizedlist> 89 <listitem> 90 <para> 91 Each interactable widget can be focused with mouse (if that is not restricted by underlying host OS). 92 </para> 93 </listitem> 94 <listitem> 95 <para> 96 Each hovered interactable widget causes own tool-tip to appear. 97 </para> 98 </listitem> 99 <listitem> 100 <para> 101 Each tool-tip is given either in imperative mood (ex. "Create new virtual machine") or in short form (ex. "New"). 102 </para> 103 </listitem> 104 <listitem> 105 <para> 106 Short tool-tip form is only used if context is obvious for a user. 107 </para> 108 </listitem> 109 <listitem> 110 <para> 111 Tool-tip can contain shortcut mentioned in parentheses. 112 </para> 113 </listitem> 114 <listitem> 115 <para> 116 Each hovered menu bar / toolbar action causes own status-tip to appear (if window have status-bar). 117 </para> 118 </listitem> 119 <listitem> 120 <para> 121 Each status-tip is given in imperative mood only. 122 </para> 123 </listitem> 124 <listitem> 125 <para> 126 TBD... 127 </para> 128 </listitem> 129 </itemizedlist> 130 </sect1> 131 <sect1> 132 <title>Keyboard Navigation</title> 133 <itemizedlist> 134 <listitem> 135 <para> 136 Each interactable widget can be focused with keyboard (if that is not restricted by underlying host OS). 137 </para> 138 </listitem> 139 <listitem> 140 <para> 141 Focusing is possible through tabbing or mnemonic navigation. 142 </para> 143 </listitem> 144 <listitem> 145 <para> 146 Each button and menu bar / toolbar action can be directly activated with keyboard. 147 </para> 148 </listitem> 149 <listitem> 150 <para> 151 Activation is possible via shortcut or mnemonic. 152 </para> 153 </listitem> 154 <listitem> 155 <para> 156 Each shortcut is configurable through application preferences. 157 </para> 158 </listitem> 159 <listitem> 160 <para> 161 Mnemonic mentioned above is underlined alphanumeric character which is a part of widget label (if widget has label). 162 Mnemonic being triggered in conjunction with the Alt key. 163 </para> 164 </listitem> 165 <listitem> 166 <para> 167 Each mnemonic is unique within the visible part of current application window, there are no collisions. 168 </para> 169 </listitem> 170 <listitem> 171 <para> 172 TBD... 173 </para> 174 </listitem> 175 </itemizedlist> 176 </sect1> 177 <sect1> 178 <title>Screen-reader Navigation</title> 179 <itemizedlist> 180 <listitem> 181 <para> 182 Each interactable widget can be focused with screen-reader cursor. 183 </para> 184 </listitem> 185 <listitem> 186 <para> 187 Each focused widget have clear name (or full description) in native user language. 188 </para> 189 </listitem> 190 <listitem> 191 <para> 192 Each button and menu bar / toolbar action can be directly activated through the screen-reader cursor functionality. 193 </para> 194 </listitem> 195 <listitem> 196 <para> 197 Each complex widget which has children (like list, tree, table and similar) is represented as closed group which 198 encapsulates it's children clearly. 199 </para> 200 </listitem> 201 <listitem> 202 <para> 203 While navigating user is able to skip any group without forcing to be entered inside. 204 </para> 205 </listitem> 206 <listitem> 207 <para> 208 Each group child can be a group itself with the same rules as above applicable. 209 </para> 210 </listitem> 211 <listitem> 212 <para> 213 Each text-field can be directly edited through the screen-reader cursor functionality. 214 </para> 215 </listitem> 216 <listitem> 217 <para> 218 TBD... 219 </para> 220 </listitem> 221 </itemizedlist> 222 </sect1> 223 </chapter> 70 224 </book> 71 225 <!-- vim: set shiftwidth=2 tabstop=2 expandtab: -->
