VoiceOver patches 0001-0008 now apply cleanly on top of Zoom patch 0000. The full set (git am patches/000*.patch) works without conflicts. Patch 0005 (integration) merges Zoom fallback and VoiceOver postAccessibilityUpdates in ns_update_end.

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] ns: integrate accessibility with EmacsView and redisplay
|
|
|
|
Wire the accessibility infrastructure into EmacsView and the
|
|
|
|
* src/nsterm.m (ns_update_end): Call [view postAccessibilityUpdates].
|
|
(EmacsView dealloc): Release accessibilityElements.
|
|
(EmacsView windowDidBecomeKey): Post accessibility focus notification.
|
|
(ns_ax_collect_windows): New function.
|
|
(EmacsView rebuildAccessibilityTree, invalidateAccessibilityTree)
|
|
(accessibilityChildren, accessibilityFocusedUIElement)
|
|
(postAccessibilityUpdates, accessibilityBoundsForRange:)
|
|
(accessibilityParameterizedAttributeNames)
|
|
(accessibilityAttributeValue:forParameter:): New methods.
|
|
* etc/NEWS: Document VoiceOver accessibility support.
|
|
|
|
Tested on macOS 14 with VoiceOver. End-to-end: buffer
|
|
navigation, cursor tracking, window switching, completions, evil-mode
|
|
block cursor, org-mode folded headings, indirect buffers.
|
|
|
|
Known limitations documented in patch 6 Texinfo node.

+** VoiceOver accessibility support on macOS.
|
|
+Emacs now exposes buffer content, cursor position, and interactive
|
|
+elements to the macOS accessibility subsystem (VoiceOver). This
|
|
+includes AXBoundsForRange for macOS Zoom cursor tracking, line and
|
|
+word navigation announcements, Tab-navigable interactive spans
|
|
+(buttons, links, completion candidates), and completion announcements
|
|
+for the *Completions* buffer. The implementation uses a virtual
|
|
+accessibility tree with per-window elements, hybrid SelectedTextChanged
|
|
+and AnnouncementRequested notifications, and thread-safe text caching.
|
|
+Set 'ns-accessibility-enabled' to nil to disable the accessibility
|
|
+interface and eliminate the associated overhead.
