The behavior of QML text in regards to the screen reader differ from the set textFormat property:
PlainText, RichText, MarkdownText: The text is read as is, with its role "link" prepended ("link, This is a dummy text ...")
StyledText:
- Firstly, "link, embedded link" is read, then a hint, that the link may be clicked using Control + Option + Space (which does not work)
- The group may be entered with Control + Shift + Option + Arrow Down, it will then read "In link, embedded link, link, embedded link".
- Pressing Control + Option + Space to open the link works here.
- The actual text property is never announced to the user, only the link.
See this MWE to replicate the behavior.
import QtQuick Window { id: root readonly property string linkText: "This is a dummy text. With an <a href=\"http://qt.io\">embedded link</a> and textFormat %1." height: 480 title: qsTr("Hello World") visible: true width: 640 Column { anchors.centerIn: parent A11yText { text: root.linkText.arg("PlainText") textFormat: Text.PlainText } A11yText { text: root.linkText.arg("StyledText") textFormat: Text.StyledText } A11yText { text: root.linkText.arg("RichText") textFormat: Text.RichText } A11yText { text: root.linkText.arg("MarkdownText") textFormat: Text.MarkdownText } } component A11yText: Text { Accessible.name: text Accessible.role: Accessible.Link onLinkActivated: link => Qt.openUrlExternally(link) } }
