#lazyweb idea: I want to be able to use NVDA style keyboard commands to navigate webpages even when NVDA isn't running. I'm not a regular screen reader user, but do so often enough that I've gotten used to at least the basic commands, and am finding myself wishing I could tap H to jump among headings, or bring up a heading or link list window, or various other navigational options. Would be handy both as personal quick navigation and as a quick (not remotely comprehensive) initial accessibility check.

I'd assume this would need to be a browser extension. I could see it having an option as to which screen reader commands you want to use, depending on whether you're more familiar with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, or one of the others.

I'm primarily a macOS/Safari user, so that's the top of my wishlist of supported browsers, but I know that more extensions are made for the Chrome/Edge/Firefox trio; ideally, this would be available for all browsers.

I don't suppose such a thing already exists? I'm not a programmer, so can't magically make this appear myself. If someone else out there thinks this is an idea worth pursing, I'll be your first download! :D

New updates of the rnsd-menubar #reticulum #macos app. Searchable, clickable #nomadnet lists which open the pages. I think I’ll leave this app like this. No need to re-invent MeshChat. Chnages are uploaded to GitHub: https://github.com/varna9000/rnsd-menubar

Attempted to install Mac OS X (10.0) on a Wii. Sadly my allocated time for hackerspace visit (K-Space.ee) ended before the installer managed to even start as I had to go home...

🌗 macOS 原生即時切換虛擬桌面指南
➤ 告別冗長動畫,用 InstantSpaceSwitcher 實現瞬間切換
https://arhan.sh/blog/native-instant-space-switching-on-macos/
對於頻繁使用 macOS 虛擬桌面(Spaces)的用戶而言,系統內建的滑動轉場動畫往往造成不必要的視覺負擔。作者深入剖析了坊間常見的解決方案,包括調整「減少動態效果」、安裝 yabai 視窗管理器或使用第三方工具,並指出這些方法各有缺點,例如需關閉系統完整性保護(SIP)或強迫更換視窗管理邏輯。最終,作者推薦一款名為「InstantSpaceSwitcher」的開源工具,該工具無需特殊權限,透過模擬高速度觸控板手勢,實現了真正零延遲的桌面切換,大幅提升了操作流暢度。
+ 終於有人解決這個惱人的動畫問題了!我一直不想為了禁用動畫而關閉 SIP,這工具看起來正是完美的替代方案。
+ 雖然這解決了切換問題,但還是希望能看到 Apple 原生提供「關閉動畫」的勾選框,畢竟依賴第三方腳本總是讓
