This would mean that either the application itself, or one of the platforms under it, would have to provide some means for enlarging the text 200% (zoom or otherwise) while retaining full functionality and without the application interfering with it.

Additional guidance when applying to Software Aspects of Products
15:09:06 [greggvanderheiden]
Keyboard interfaces are programmatic services provided by platforms that allow text input and operation in a device independent manner. This success criterion does not imply the presence of a hardware keyboard, but only the existence of a means to input text and control the software using encoded (keystroke) input. This encoded (keyboard) input could come from a virtual keyboard or from a physical built-in or external (wired or wireless)
15:09:06 [greggvanderheiden]
keyboard. Nothing in the WCAG INTENT discourages pointing, gesture or other input as secondary or primary mode of input as long as the SC is met.

KK: what about T9 keyboards?
15:09:41 [Andi]
GV: T9 keyboards generate keystroke input

15:13:03 [janina]

What we really need is a non-timing way of providing text + control input. Forget about the "old ways" (key codes).

15:26:37 [Andi]

15:27:44 [Andi]
