One of my main gripes unfortunately Wayland does not function very well with accessibility software without elevated privileges. Areas include but not limited to :
-simulated keyboard/mouse input (some progress recently with some composers)
ability to inspect window attributes (e.g. window title, executable and handle)
ability to manipulate windows (e.g. maximise, close, etc)
Considerations do need to be made in the framework / protocol for accessibility. I'm hoping the situation has changed. Possibly someone could comment on that.
- kaba0 6y agoI doubt it has changed all that much, but an accessibility software need not be on the same privilege level than an ordinary one, so it is entirely possible to propose an accessibility extension to query basically everything and explicitly enable these methods for a specific program. Unfortunately accessibility softwares are not all that good on linux as far as I know.
