Keyboard navigation and accessibility concerns

[mufeedali]

I want to improve the current keyboard navigation and accessibility situation.

Right now, not all labels can be focused using keyboard navigation. This is partly intentional because I don't want non-data GtkLabels (like "Synonyms", definition numbering, etc.) to be selectable. The property that I would expect to be what I want, focusable, does not seem to actually allow keyboard navigation either.

I'm also generally unsure about accessibility because I have no familiarity with how someone differently abled might interact with the application.

add 'Ctrl+L' and 'alt+d' and ctrl+f to focus on the search field. because we all use that for web browsers.

@fastrizwaan By default, focus on launch is on the search entry. Additionally, typing any key will automatically bring focus onto the search entry. I'm still worried about keyboard-only users or anyone needing accessibility features though, because those are areas that I'm unfamiliar with.

that's right, but could you add "Alt+D/Ctrl+L" to select all text, so that we can overwrite existing text. try pressing "ctrl+d" in chrome to see the behavior.
