Braille verbosity levels #214

A verbosity level would also help people with smaller braille displays. |
In the last few months, I've heard several complaints about this from Dutch mailing list members and @BabbageCom customers. In #1885, I posted the following idea which might be a possibility for this issue as well:
Additional options which should be tog gable:

I think a tab control or radio button allowing you to select whether to
show options for speech or braille would be a nicer UX, particularly
because some of the options might already be choice controls. However,
that's a minor detail and can be sorted out later.
This issue is getting rather confused. It first talks about disabling
roles, but then others have commented about shortening the text for states
(which is something we've already done for some states and could easily do
for others if people have intuitive suggestions). Now you're discussing
separate configuration of formatting for speech and braille, which is
covered by #1885.
The bigger question for me here is use cases. If you disable role, states,
focus ancestry, etc., you're losing information which is essential to
understand the user interface. Is this primarily intended for users who use
both speech and braille and get the other information from speech? Or is it
intended for users who know the application they're using so well that they
don't need this information? Use cases are essential for us to justify
something being implemented.

May be we should split it out to multiple ones?
You already have two valid use cases here. I think there are at least four types of screen reader users in terms of how they use speech and braille:

This issue is still a bit vague in scope. I suggest closing it in favour of newer issues that have a clearer scope and goal. @dkager, thoughts? |
Sounds reasonable. |

The amount of information that is shown in braille, such as the role labels, should be made configurable. Perhaps we need some kind of braille verbosity levels?
