I must have missed the "we don't want to override Enter"
discussions, but I wish we'd reconsider that. In an ideal world,
websites wouldn't make us jump through these hoops at all, but
whenever they do, and that is very often, I have to either:
* Press ALt-Shift-A to pull up a list of clickables.
* Wait, possibly several seconds.
* Press Alt-A to click the item I want. Usually this is the item
I'm on, so the step of pulling up a list and waiting several
seconds was unnecessary.
Or:
* I try routing the cursor.
* I then simulate a click. Usually this doesn't work and lands
me somewhere in my tray. I try it because it usually fails faster
when it doesn't work, though when it occasionally does it saves me
some time.
If we have a good reason for not overriding Enter, which I assume
there is, can we create a keybinding to simulate a click on the
currently-focused item? Or maybe that's what the key to simulate
mouse clicks does, and I shouldn't need to route my cursor? But
I'd expect routing my cursor and simulating a left-click to be
identical to my first procedure. It'd also be useful to click on
whatever has keyboard-focus rather than relying on fragile flat
review.
Thanks.

Hello,
If you take into account differences how to emulate clicks
with orca and how to do the same thing with NVDA this site
works the same way with orca as with NVDA.
The thing is that date selector displays its calendar in a
table. None of the entries within the table are focusable so
there is no way to interact with that part except of emulating
clicks on the table cells corresponding with day numbers. When
using NVDA you can just use table navigation features to
locate the day you wish and press the enter key to synthesize
a click.
With orca you can also use table navigation commands to
find your day however you have to either move flat review to
the current clickable or you have to use list of clickables in
order to be able to synthesize a click.
I am not sure if this can be improved at orca side of
things given the fact we wish not to override enter key
presses as discussed several times in the past.
Greetings
Peter
