NVDA addon which supports blind and visually impaired developers with tools that help them better understand visual layouts, independently create appealing user interfaces, and comply with popular universal access guidelines such as the WCAG.
I have two somewhat related feature requests from using this addon in the field as a fulltime developer, that i think would mesh well with the addon's overall philosophy.
When a sighted developer wants to inspect an element they mouse over it and right-click. THis can at times be problematic for screen reader users, an overlay might be in the way or the content you're on hasn't scrolled into view visually so you can't easily do a simulated right-mouseclick on the element. For sr-only elements this is pretty much impossible to do instantly as well. so I would propose two new gestures:
Ideally I would love this to be possible just from regular browse mode but I can see how that would be difficult to do, so I would love a gesture at reads the current node's HTML, copying it to the clipboard with a subsequent press for if you want to see it more detailedly.
Second, a gesture that retrieves the CSS classes currently on a node, including parent node ones, and either lists those classes or lists those classes' contents somehow. The inspector panel of the browser can do this already, but Chrome's is pretty inaccessible and Firefox is only marginally better. Getting to this info quickly is really important to diagnose visual inconsistencies.
Remove reportObjectDetails from the system because the overall scheme and scope of the addon has changed. . The addon will provide this feature through other specialized features.
For accessibility testing, it would be more convenient to see the foreground and background colors right next to each other, so we can grab the numbers and compare them to the W3C foreground to background ratio.
