In those threads, I had asked for "a way for IA2 Paste Text to provide both a Start and an End Offset parameter. Also to provide an Attributes parameter. Copy-with-parameters should be implemented as an additional method in IAccessibleText."

So, cut, copy copy selected text to the clipboard. The details are handled by the rouser. Paste pasts to selected text or the insertion point (collapsed selection). What is the concern about clipboard functionality? I'll have to dig through a month's worth of discussion on the list back in June 2011. I'll try to get to that at some point during the week. If you have time to look at it sooner look through the thread with subject, "next changes to IAccessible2" here: http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2011-June/thread.html Rich Sent from my iPad On Feb 4, 2013, at 10:18 PM, "Pete Brunet" <p...@a11ysoft.com> wrote: On 2/4/13 4:56 PM, Richard Schwerdtfeger wrote: Did you check with Nuance? What appends if replacetext is removed? If you have a contact at Nuance please ask them to join the list. Only the clipboard methods are deprecated, which bascially means don't use the cut/copy/paste methods until the IA2 spec can be changed to support the varying implementations and ambiguities of clipboard functionality. The rest of the methods are not deprecated, i.e. deleteText, insertText, replaceText, and setAttributes. Does that clarification help at all? Even if Nuance has not implemented it for say FF has someone approached them? We can' t just be supporting vision impairments.

It is additional work to have a voice reco solution have to go through the additional work of doing the additional keyboard simulations for doing that function. So, these are single actions. AccessibleEditableText also allows you to replace text, and set attributes, which takes offsets and replacement text/attributes. Accessible actions are single action functions that don't take parameters. ReplaceText is not the same as pasting from the clipboard. It is really nice to have all the features in the same interface. Note: One could bind the single command functions (cut, copy, paste) to the same actions in accessible actions. The other problem you have with actions is where do you apply it. Do you know to apply it only to the document. If Editable text is applied to text content within the document then you should now where to find the interface.
