Hello Bastiaan;
Most Arachne functions can be accessed by the keyboard.
The first item mentioned is simply "ENTER".
The second item (which is really the first problem) is a little more
difficult. Arachne allows one to TAB around the screen to both links
and buttons. When you arrive at the necessary button, ENTER will
activate it. With the current state of Arachne, I don't know how
Karen could know which function button or URL is currently ready
to be activated. I don't think it is an impossible task though,
to cause Arachne to audibly indicate both the first "button" on
the screen and in a different manner, the first URL on the screen.
It should not be necessary for the screen to be there of course.
This is not a chicken and egg problem. I think it is cart and horse.
If the print function, however activated, does not provide output in
the form required to operate the speech synthesizer, then we don't
have a horse.
