Description
Description
When using DemoType for the first time, I have to allow ZoomIt to control my computer (enable ZoomIt in accessibility settings). Could a link to the accessibility settings be added to the "Check permissions" menu? That way we can get all the permissions in one go.
Current Behavior
I have to enable ZoomIt in accessibility settings when using DemoType - even when I have previously allowed all the stuff listed in "Check permissions"
Expected Behavior
After enabling everything in the "Check permissions" menu, I would expect to not get any prompts for enabling settings.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open ZoomIt
- Select Check Permissions from the menu
- Enable Camera Settings
- Enable Microsoft Settings
- Enable Screen Recording Settings
- Restart ZoomIt
- Open DemoType
- Select an input file for ZoomIt
- Hit the DemoType toggle to start typing
- You'll get prompted to allow ZoomIt in the Accessibility Settings

Research direction
Start by locating the "Check Permissions" menu and the existing camera, Microsoft, and screen-recording permission links. Add the missing accessibility settings link, then verify that enabling every permission there prevents the Accessibility Settings prompt when starting DemoType.
