Zotero Beta 7 Accessibility regression: selecting a resolver

SunDial

Hello,
In Zotero 7.0.0-beta.110+144f2caed (64-bit) using NVDA 2024.2, I am unable to select a resolver using the keyboard. When I have navigated to the dialogue window item where I can open the resolver list by pressing alt+arrow down, I hear that the list has opened, but I can't find the menu where I can select a continent, country and resolver. This worked better in Zotero 6, however, usage was also counterintuitive when using the keyboard. In Zotero 6, after pressing alt+arrow down to open the list, I would press arrow up to see the items. I would expect focus to jump to the list so that I can select the item I need.
Could you please look into this? Thank you.

We'll fix — thanks.

Thank you.

Unrelated to this issue: Did you or someone in the team see my previous posts related to accessibility? I on't expect an instant fix, but I didn't see any reaction and just wanted make sure they didn't go unnoticed:
The feeds area doesn't work in 7, it used to work better in 6: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/115072/zotero-beta-accessibility-of-feeds-area

And another one where I say that Zotero has become more accessible, but since we need to use the tab key quite a lot to navigate the interface, it has become harder to use it efficiently: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/114816/ux-and-keyboard-accessibility

Thank you for your great work.

Again somewhat related to the resolver issue, in Zotero 7 I am unable to locate the "find in library" option that will look up the selected item in the library I have specified through the resolver URL. Could some please describe how to find it using the keyboard? Thank you, or at least where it is located now?

It's in the new sidebar to the right of the item pane in Zotero 7. We haven't yet made that accessible via the keyboard, but that's on our to-do list.

@SunDial: The issues with the resolver menu should be fixed in beta 113.

@dstillman thank you, selecting a resolver works beautifully, better than in Zotero 6. :)

Thank you also for describing the location of the find in library feature, I managed to find it and save it as a location on screen so I can drag the mouse to it and use it with less hassle, untilll it is properly navigable by keyboard.
