Everyone, rejoice Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging accessibility contributions in GNOME Calendar again, specifically the entirety of merge request !564, which introduces keyboard-navigable month cells. This means, as of GNOME 50, GNOME Calendar's month view will be fully navigable with a keyboard for the first time in its history! The only high-level goal that needs work now is conveying these information with assistive technologies properly.Do note that the screen recording attached won't have any alt text, to avoid redundancy. Everything written below is a detailed explanation of the experience, and the recording is essentially a visual demonstration:- When tabbing between events, focus moves chronologically. This means that focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying the current cell. Then, focus moves to the topmost event widget in the next cell or row. Tabbing backwards with Shift+Tab moves in the opposite direction.- On the last event widget, pressing Tab moves the focus to the adjacent month cell. Conversely, pressing Ctrl+Tab on any event widget has the same effect.- Pressing an activation button (such as Enter or Space) displays the popover for creating an event. Additionally, pressing and holding the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys selects every cell between the start and end positions until the Shift key is released, which displays the popover with the selected range.Both merge requests !564 and !598 took us almost an entire year to explore various approaches and finally settle on the best one for our use case. Everything was done voluntarily, relying solely on support from donors and those who share these posts, without any financial backing from other entities. In contrast, most, if not all, calendar apps backed by trillion-dollar companies still don't offer proper keyboard navigation across their views. In many cases, they haven't even reached feature parity. If it is not too much trouble, please consider funding my accessibility work on GNOME. Thank you! ️#GNOMECalendar #GNOME #Accessibility #a11y #Calendar #GTK #libadwaita #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #OSS #Linux

@x0 @fastfinge I actually made such a thing, for both Mac and Windows, though sadly I lost the Windows version in a computer failure, but perhaps you can take some design concepts from it. It worked on having you make as many subfolders that you could switch to with the right and left arrow keys. Each folder would contain audio files, named after the key that would trigger it. So the way it worked is you pressed a key to enter the soundboard layer, selected a folder with the arrow keys if it you weren't in the right one already, then pressed the key for the sound you wanted. I had plans to add an option to preview the sounds on another device if you added shift to the pressed key and perhaps a mic playthrough to make virtual cable management on Windows easier but I stopped working on this when I got an audio interface with its own soundboard. The sourcecode for the mac version as a hammerspoon module still exists here https://github.com/pitermach/hammerboard

@vick21 oh, I ran into this oddly for the TGSpeechBox Settings UI but all this work especially with getting Jetpack compose stuff to have proper roles and sound good with Talkback will be really useful for work too, no doubt, so I'm not upset at all going a bit more out of my web-centric comfort zone. xD
