SUMMARY I barely know how to sudo apt and keep my system updated lol, but I did run across a small nounce that I believe would improve the accessibility of KDE windows for those who need it; I soaked my mouse last night there was no saving it, no place was open to grab a new one but I figure I would be able to somehow thumb my way and still use my desktop but I encountered some non-tabable areas of the system menu window and simple wasn't able to toggle the keypad mouse option in the settings. super bummer STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. alt+f2 I was able to open the settings and arrow key down to accessibility 2. in the accessibility menu I was able to tab through the keyboard menu then over to the mouse settings and there was the toggle for the keypad mouse 3. there was no way to arrow key or tab into that window to highlight that toggle and press enter, almost totally accessible but it was a gotcha moment OBSERVED RESULT wasn't able to easily and intuitively active accessiblity features EXPECTED RESULT easily accessible SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION seems like may be an easy code fix that could improve the system for those who need that feature
Belongs to Plasma.
It is possible to do this with just a keyboard: alt+f2 to open krunner type "accessibility" use arrow keys + enter to open accessibility press tab 4 times to use the custom sidebar use arrow keys + enter to open Mouse Navigation press tab once + space to use numpad as mouse keep pressing tab until Apply is highlighted press space to apply settings
Indeed, I could confirm this too with 5.27.10 under x11. The only difficulty is that you have to press TAB a non-trivial amount of times before you can interact with the sub-list of menus (bell, keyboard filters, etc). Like, except when it's on the buttons and the settings themselves, there's no highlight to tell you where the focus currently is. And if any IMHO this could be the actual issue here?
Thank you for the bug report! This should work on current development Plasma, and recent improvements (one landing in KF 6.14 a little after Plasma 6.4, some already released a while ago) should also largely eliminate the extra tab stops.
