Zotero is indeed an invaluable source for citation needs and organizing the research materials. I am a visually impaired person (blind) person/researcher, and of course, badly need to use Zotero for m

Zotero perhaps should allow attaching files via URL (by downloading, not just linking to them) for accessibility. Not sure what would be a good way to implement that without increased burden on the UX

All good points. I'm not involved in that part of development, but I know Dan has mentioned that keyboard accessibility is important, so I'd hope these will happen, though unfortunately especially 1.)

no, sorry. Unfortunately groups--like collections--aren't really usable without drag&drop at this point. We're aware that causes accessibility issues.

It is my understanding that improved keyboard handling--not least for accessibility--is very much on the agenda.

Zotero 4.0.22 is now out with a fix for this issue. Let us know if there are other accessibility improvements that could be made.

There is a keyboard shortcut for "Save to Zotero" (i.e. URL bar icon). It's ctrl+shift+s (cmd+shift+s on mac). It's relatively new, so may have arrived after the accessibility report. What hasn't been

Here's the reason I ask: I recently requested an accessibility report for this software from GMU's ATI. The report suggested that there is no keyboard accessible way to use this feature out-of-the-box

I'm really glad you're thinking of accessibility! School that's accessible with KB shortcut might be okay (e.g., ctrl+arrow or something like that. I haven't really worked through the tab order of Zot

For accessibility reasons, I think we would want to make horizontal scroll work with the keyboard as well. The reason I asked is because I have proposed this change over a year ago, but it hasn't rece

I suggest the following. For usability and accessibility, there should be at least one alternative to drag & drop at least in moving items between collections (e.g. buttons, keys or a mouse menu). Zot

My understanding is that it should be, yes. Zotero is based on mozilla, which has a good record of working with JAWS. That said, Zotero is too small a project to have its own accessibility testers, so

Is zotero accessible using the JAWS reader or other software?

Interesting to hear that about the accessibility of notes via the api -- I might have to figure out how to write an extension.

I don't understand the extent of the problems that drag&drop causes - and we'd be interested in replicable bug reports there - but kadiddle is correct that ergonomics (and accessibility) kind of deman
