[Qgis-psc] Question on QGIS Accessibility issues

[Randal Hale]

Good morning, afternoon, etc

I've been teaching QGIS certified classes virtually this year (thanks to 
the pandemic) which has allowed a wide range of people to take the 
classes. The intro class is always a lively discussion of QGIS things: 
tools, community, and "how does it work". I've cc'd Simon on this as he 
brought up a question for which I haven't a good answer - which after 
thinking about it and talking to Nyall I'm emailing the PSC.

During the discussion on the QGIS Interface Simon asked "Are there 
options with QGIS to help people with accessibility/mobility issues?". 
In my mapping life this has come up a few times but not lately. Simon 
uses CAD software (and other software) that collects the last few 
commands into a "right click" (Context menu) and allows for easier 
navigation. For a large number of QGIS Users, navigating the interface 
isn't that big of an issue. I do it daily without thinking. For Simon 
this is a challenge - Navigating the interface is a bit more difficult 
due to mobility issues. He thoroughly enjoyed the QGIS and the class and 
hopefully will become a long time user.

I guess the question is - are there any groups, persons, etc that do 
work on the QGIS interface for persons that have accessibility issues? 
As I said for me moving from processing tools to project properties to 
layer properties isn't a problem - but for some it is. By asking I'm 
volunteering and I will do what I can to help - but I figure this is as 
good of a place to start as any.

Thanks for your time. I've cc'd Simon on this but he is not subscribed 
to the PSC list (I wasn't until this morning) but he is very willing to 
answer questions and help also.
