Re: Iggdrasil, a new amazing screenreader



Mouse accessibility stinks no matter on what operating system it exists.
Icons are too small too numerous on a screen and haven't got standard
screen positions either.  If those three problems could be fixed then
mouse accessibility would get workable.
Say putting at most 9 mouse icons on any given screen arranged like a
tic-tac-toe board with standard positioning based on the tic-tac-toe board
where the icons were large enough so a mouse would have to be moved  1.5
inches to go through an icon with 1 inch between icons I think this could
work.  Maybe 11 icons on a screen as maximum but one would be previous and
another would be ok or next and those ought to be well separated from the
menu icons lower on the screen.
