Post #3964488

After 6 months and many hard rebases, GNOME Shell has taken the first step (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/4013) to make the screenshot selection UI more accessible to disabled users, by implementing keyboard navigation to resizing and moving the screenshot selection rectangle. The navigation works similar to resizing and moving windows in Mutter using the keyboard, including holding Alt to move the selection, and holding Shift or Control moves/resize the selection rectangle more/less than the default, and a new shortcut on the R key to reset the selection area. This work makes it easy to get the exact area you want to screenshot as easy as possible. Next up (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/4263) is getting the area selection status to be reportable by our screen reader. This would not have been possible without @TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems and @tyrylu@gts.trycht.cz help testing the MR and @fmuellner@mastodon.social reviewing and answering my questions here at GUADEC, and all the people who have sponsored me financially for the past 6 months. Thank you to all of you for helping! #GNOME #GNOMEShell #accessibility #disabilitypride
