Description

Hello,

In commit 1a10f8c5c of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca, Orca starts the work on supporting global structural navigation, which should bring a web-like experience to all apps, allowing more convenient, structural access to their content, improving on focus handling issues and allowing quick navigation in document styled interfaces.

The new functionality requires toolkits to implement the Atspi Collection interface for relevant components in order to provide structural navigation. I have tested eframe 0.32 with egui 0.32 and accesskit 0.17.1. It seems these interfaces are not supported yet.

could AccessKit implement the support for Atspi Collection?

Thanks for the great work!

Research direction

Begin with Orca commit 1a10f8c5c and the AT-SPI Collection interface, then compare the tested eframe 0.32, egui 0.32, and AccessKit 0.17.1 setup. Done means AccessKit provides the needed Collection support and Orca's global structural navigation works across relevant content.
