M@ Bntn 🗽@marco have you tried https://zed.dev/ (overlook the AI hype)? I wonder how it fairs for blind users, as a new, cross-platform product.
miki@miki @marco Ah, so it’s because the controls are being rendered inside the “sandbox” of a graphical output instead of native system controls being used? (Sorry for the layperson speak)
That’s disappointing, and seems like a big software design hurdle to shift from now, if they decide to do the right thing and support accessibility.
@miki Also, I wonder if this highlights the feat that @mitchellh has done with Ghostty, using native controls on different platforms. I hope that means Ghostty is able to support accessibility!
Mitchell Hashimoto@mitchellh Glad to hear it is being addressed on macOS, and sad to hear the situation on Linux. I think I’ve seen @aral raising a stink over accessibility limitations over there.
Please prioritize shipping these 🙏🏻
Aral Balkan@bntn @mitchellh Yeah, I’m back to using a Mac as my daily driver after six years on Linux because of this.
