Accessibility
Ravenburst is built to be used comfortably with low vision, with a keyboard alone, and with a screen reader. In the app, summarizes the options.
Seeing the screen
- High Contrast theme: or . Strong text and borders, and wider scrollbars.
- UI text size: scales menus, panels and labels to 115%, 130% or 150%. At 130% and above, scrollbars get wider too.
- Editor zoom: 50% to 200% with Ctrl+= and Ctrl+-, separate from the UI size.
- Editor font and size: .
- Windows contrast themes (forced colors) are respected.
Using the keyboard
- Every menu command can be reached from the keyboard, and most have shortcuts. Press Ctrl+Shift+/ for the list, or see Keyboard Shortcuts.
- Use the arrow keys to move through the Navigator and reference tables.
- Focus is always visible.
- In dialogs, Tab stays inside the dialog, Esc closes it, and focus returns to where you were.
- Esc also leaves Composition Mode.
Screen readers
- The window is divided into labeled regions (navigator, editor, inspector, status bar), so you can jump between them.
- The editor is announced as a multi-line text area.
- Icon buttons have labels.
- Saving is announced politely (“Saved”), without interrupting your reading.
If something doesn't work well with your screen reader, please tell us which one and what happened.
