Hi,
This is really a feature request and may not belong here but I don't
know where to send such notions.
The problem: I use www.emusic.com for most of my digital music
downloads. They are straight mp3 files with a 384 bps rate and they
have an incredible library of classical and jazz recordings (as well
as other items that do not make the cut on the popularity list to be
included in some of the other stores). Emusic has never had copy
protection and the site works reasonably well with most screen readers.
One oddity on emusic, though, is that some buttons must be activated
with the ENTER key. So, pressing SPACE does nothing, VO+SPACE also
does nothing but ENTER gets things flowing again.
I would like to suggest that VO, which should have access to the
keystroke that a control wants should announce it when the keystroke
is not one that fits the generic model for kb operation. I don't know
how many pathologic controls are out there but pressing SPACE and
sitting patiently hearing silence is fairly aggravating.
Happy Hacking,
cdh
