Hi Majid.

I just took a look. The "combat" button and the "loot" button are
keyboard accessible. Even without Orca, I can use Tab to move to them
and Space to press them. The creators of the website didn't do that with
the "Gather" button. Perhaps they can fix that, especially given that
this is the "Screen Reader version" of this game and is presumably meant
to be keyboard accessible.

Having said that, when you use Orca commands to move to the "Gather"
button Orca announces it is "clickable" which tells you that you'll very
likely need to use Orca's click command to click it. This works for me,
though Orca does then say it cannot find the current location. That's
presumably because clicking on the button causes it to be destroyed and
replaced by a "Gathering" button. Improving Orca's ability to recover
when the focused/active object gets destroyed is already on my todo list.

Getting back to your original question: I really don't think it's a good
idea for Orca to take over core keys such Tab, Space, and Enter. The
browser and the web application are in the best position to know what
those keys should do, and if Orca were to take over those core keys, it
is in danger of breaking basic functionality. I personally think the
compromise is to provide a mechanism through which you can deal with
this (e.g. by announcing "clickable" and providing a "click" command).

hi there,
would it be possible to make these buttons pressable?
the combat button the loot button the story buttons work as intended,
but the gather button does not,
could this be looked at?
