Hi,

the quick access is still not accessible with Jaws. All other bugreports have been closed with reference to bug 425586. However, in this bugreport I don't get any update, what the status is. Has anyone contacted Freedom Scientific about these open issues? Do you have a contact at FS, whom I could ask about the status?

As the Quick Access is such an important feature, maybe a workaround could be provided. Here are two ideas:
1. Implement a "Quick Access" command showing a dialog with a search field and the result list (like Ctrl+Shift+T). Maybe the quick access controls could be reused.
2. When using the code completion (Ctrl+Space), you can focus the popup by pressing Tab. Then, Jaws starts reading the items. This would also work for the Quick Access, but if you press Tab in the Quick Access search field, focus is set to "Open perspective".

Best regards,
Thomas

I'm making it a dup of bug 500618 which should greatly improve accessibility of Quick Access.
