Chrome and ATK

[Nolan Darilek]

I remember reading a while back on this list that Chrome unstable had
some experimental ATK support. Was this for actual browser content, or
just for menus/dialogs?

If the former, is there any way to enable that support even in an
experimental state? I'm curious to know what if anything works.

Thanks.

Hi Nolan,

Yes, we did the infrastructure work to get the browser content exposed to the ATK tree, but haven't implemented very many of the methods or even role mappings. You should be able to tab to links and buttons. You can't read static text with Orca, but if you use an accessibility debug tool you can see that it's there.

To enable it, just run Chrome with the --force-renderer-accessibility flag.

Very cool, thanks. Is this still being worked on or is it inactive for now?

Inactive for now.
