1:
It is possible to have practically full control of Opera only
using a keyboard, there are however a few commands not reachable this
way. The most useful browsing commands are directly available through
the keyboard, not through menu equivalents.
- Comment
2:
Through windows, menus and pointing devicet
(not necessarily using a mouse--this is written on a mouseless system).
All keyboard commands are available through the pointing device
interface, not necessarily as conveniently.
- Comment
3:
Contextual menus and pointing device actions not using OS
menus. This is the poorest set, but should be more than sufficient for
normal browsing. A couple of commands are *only* available
through context menus (like validate HTML), This is a UI and WAI bug
and should be fixed. Note that in Opera the contextual menu is also
available through keyboard command (Ctrl+M). [An exception is on EPOC,
that doesn't have a contextual menu.]

All functions can be operated using the keyboard alone. Text
can be selected by marking the beginning and end of text with
shortcut keys or the HPR menu. Cut, copy, paste can be accessed
with common shortcut keys as well as with the Alt and arrow keys
through the menus. F6 takes the user through all the views and the
address bar. HPR can be installed by just pressing Enter a number
of times or by tabbing to different text fields and buttons. All
documentation and web page elements such as form controls and
tables can be accessed using standard Windows keys (arrows, PgUp,
PgDn, Home, End, Tab) as well as numeric keypad keys.

All content is available visually in the Graphics
View dependent on IE's support. Most content is available in speech
and in the text view except for objects, applets, some plug-ins,
ABBR, and ACRONYM. For applets, alt, title, or code and content is
rendered in text and speech. For objects, the codebase, data, or
classid attribute and content is rendered in text and speech. For
image links and areas, the alt text, title, or the href is rendered
and a longdesc if available. Longdesc is rendered as a link
pointing to another page containing the longdesc content. For
controls and forms, meta text is rendered describing the type
attribute and the FORM tag. Also, the number of map areas and
select options are rendered as meta text. For frames, the title,
name, or src attribute is rendered in the information view or in a
dialog list control. For tables, colspan and rowspan are rendered
if there is more than 1, and headers are rendered if there are more
than 3 rows or 3 columns. Settings are available to control the
rendering of images with no or null alt text and the headers for
table rows and columns. For all links, the user can press a status
line key (Ctrl + Shift + F1) to hear the href which is displayed on
the status line. For all elements, the title attribute is also
displayed on the status line and spoken using the status line key.

This checkpoint could be clearer. We do server-initiated
language request (on the HTTP level we can say that we prefer a
Norwegian version for an English one, but it is the server which
ultimately decides what version we get). Content can be CSS styled
using the lang attribute. We don't yet support Unicode, but we would
give supporting it higher priority than giving symbol for character
set not supported.

We can turn off both multimedia and plugins separately. We have
a particular option for animations in Prefs > documents (show image,
but not the animation). Graphics set not to render can be rendered
individually using contextual menus. I don't think we can set individual
images to animate if the rule is not to animate. Is there a need?

The Opera interface doesn't use animation or blinking. The only

text-decoration:blink, which can just as easily be overridden by the

speech characteristics can be controlled individually for default
text, headings, links, visited links, search results, meta text,

is controlled by a user request, or automatically by using the lang
attribute for any element, if it exists, or by analyzing the text

This we don't do. Dialogue boxes during navigation are usually
annoying. We give user configurable options and possibilities to
override them (it is possible to open a new link in a new window
using both keyboard and context sensitive menus), but we don't ask
"Do you really want to open this window?".

We have no way today to halt script-based form submission
exclusively (apart from turning off scripting). "Generate an explicit
form submit button when the author has not provided one." This we
can't do. If an author has omitted a submit button it would be
by design, possibly bad design or possibly because the form is not
meant to be submitted anywhere.

We have a few cases where Opera users are prompted when a
Javascript might do something the user might not want to do.
Generally JS has control of what it created and little else. We
have decided not to implement a few JS features, like the print
command (where the author can specify that the user should print
the current document), if we implement it, it certainly will be
with a dialogue box.

I have serious issues with this section 6.1 thru 6.10. As I
read it, it would be an absolute requirement to fully implement the
DOM to get even an A level comformance. No other W3C spec makes DOM
a requirement. Opera is about to implement DOM (W3C of course),
other browsers may not. My suggestion is that this is made into a
separate "mode" so that one UA can have excellent accessability but
no API and another can have no accessability but can get one through
its extensive API. No DOM support yet.

8.1 and 8.2 are so broad as to be of little use. One area where
we don't follow the de facto standards is accesskeys. As implemented
by NS and IE we feel they are of limited usability, and we'd rather
do better. We haven't done so yet, though.

and form controls by selecting a reading mode and then using arrow
keys. Users can always use the Tab and Shift-Tab to move to links
and controls, and Ctrl + arrows to move by words. A user can
navigate a list of links and controls in a dialog by typing the
first letters of a link or control. The user also can enable and
use the HPR 2.5 numeric keypad keys for navigation instead of the
keyboard keys. Also, there are ways such as reading the whole page,
Controls reading, and Table Jump reading, to read just the start of
a group of elements, such as select menus, map areas, and tables,
without reading each element. Searching for meta text, such as the
words form, map, select, or submit, is a more direct way to
navigate a web page. The tabindex attribute is not supported.

This point relates to *default* highlighting, otherwise some
of this could be solved by user CSS. A little dependent on OS,
selection is highlighted either by OS selection colour marking of
the selected area (pointing device) or by a border with inversed
colour (keyboard). Focus is dependent on OS, such as using a dashed
or dotted line.

A complex checkpoint that maybe should be split up. We show
the labels inherit in HTML with the exception that we don't render
LEGEND and LABEL usefully yet (we display them though). More can be
done with CSS (we can display attributes using the content property
and before and after pseudoclasses). Outlining H1-H6 is different.
We cannot in the general case know which text belongs to each headline
(this may change with XHTML 2.0) and we have no built-in outliner
function. It is possible to make a very basic outliner using CSS
though.

headings and by form controls. When navigating by controls (or by
links), an HPR algorithm attempts to provide the control's
associated label. For each element, the user can obtain the title
attribute by reading the status line where the title attribute is
displayed. HPR does not provide an outline view with title
attributes, control labels, legends, optgroups, table captions, and
th elements. Outlines can be generated using style sheets.

The user can get the link URL and title attribute (if it
exists) by reading the status line (Ctrl + Shift + F1). Visited
links have distinctive speech and text settings. Alt text and
longdesc is rendered for image links. If automatic language
detection is on, the link is read in the author-specified language.
However, whether the link is internal, involves a fee, and
information about type, size, and natural language are not
rendered.

If customizable keyboard shortcuts is what is meant here:i
we would like to, but won't just yet. As for zero modifier keys, we
go a long way to do that, but since the entire application is
controllable from the keyboard we are running out of keys. Also there
are usability issues. Example: Opera uses the Q/A, W/S, E/D pairs for
navigation. A and Shift+A (anchor), S and Shift+S (headline), E and
Shift+E would be much more mnemnonic (no shift down, shift up), but
have so far desisted in order to reduce modifier keys.

The user can always get help by pressing F1.
When reading web pages, F1 displays online help in the form of an
HTML web page that explains all HPR features. To get a general,
concise reference list and description of keys, the user presses
Shift + F1. From that help page, there is a link that takes the
user to a detailed list and description of keys that are grouped by
"input configurations" (basic keys that work everywhere, numeric
keypad keys, menu and dialog keys, reading mode keys, and keys that
work within different kinds of web page structures like forms and
tables). All access keys are underlined in the menus and spoken,
and all shortcut keys are displayed in the menus and spoken. HPR
does not support web page access keys. Possible key conflicts with
3 popular screen readers are documented in the HPR online help.

and add to favorites (menu or Plus then minus). However, every
function can be accessed by pressing a series of single keys.
