A few accessibility problems in CUETools and CUERipper #386
Description
Hey,
I'd like to report a few accessibility issues in CUETools and CUERipper. I'm using NVDA.
- CUETools and CUERipper have unlabeled drop-down lists, checkboxes, and sliders. This applies to the main CUETools and CUERipper windows. Some checkboxes in CUERipper are correctly labeled, such as "Test & Copy."
- The output log text field in cUETools is not accessible from the keyboard; it cannot be accessed with the tab or arrow key.
- The toolbar with the "bath log," "Settings," "Website," and "About" buttons is also not accessible from the keyboard.
However, the advanced settings window itself is very accessible.
Could something be done about this?
Thanks in advance

I've noticed another accessibility issue. In CUERipper, when I insert a CD, there's no option to edit the artist using the keyboard in the track list. When I press F2 in the file list, I can only edit the title, not the artist, in the case of a compilation. The help wiki mentions something like this.
"Click in a column left or right of the track title to bring up an alternate track-edit window to edit the title, artist or comment field for the track. "
I don't know how to do this using a screen reader.
Greetings
Graco

Maybe you can try my version of CUERipper, which allows editing of the title and artist in the grid. It also has easy copy and paste in multiple cells in one time. See:
#391
and
https://github.com/RDamman/cuetools.net/releases
Also you can look at the version of UnknownException, who did a port to the Avalonia framework. See:
#372
and

I've tested both versions, and they're the same in terms of accessibility. I don't think the framework has much of an impact on this.
But thanks for the suggestion.
EDIT: I no tested CUERipper yet.
I'll let you know how I do it.
