Control +option + space bar does not open dropdown when using VoiceOver

Open claudiulodro opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Control +option + space bar command is not working to open the list of choices. VoiceOver users normally use this combination to open select inputs. On the other hand, using the Enter key does open the select input.

I've investigated this one extremely thoroughly. It may not be possible.

When you press "ctrl + option + space" and VoiceOver is active it intercepts the key events from the browser and sends whatever type of event VoiceOver wants to the currently focused element.

In SelectWoo/2, the focused combobox element is a span, and VoiceOver sends no events to it. This makes it impossible to trigger the dropdown to open.
