I have been examining Intellij idea for quite some time.

My experience is that the accessibility is get worse and worse.

You get no help.

You get answers that is nonsens.

And worst of all, Jetbrains give no alternatives …

Some of us are aware, that fleet is totally inaccessible, since the restration form is not accessible …

And now Intellij quietly, but steadily gets less and less accessible.

Compare that to the fact that they try to make the public that their product is fantastic when it comes to accessibility.

There is bug reports about the subject

That

Than

Five

Years

Old

And, what have been done?

NOTHING!

I know, a lot of you out there sit back and think: Who cares?

If so, get a job by JetBrain. they are the like.

To me, Intellij should have been named Intellij Bad Idea.

Now, I have tried not to flame JetBrain, please try, if you could avoid flaming me, which a lot of people often do, when it comes to questions about accessibility, screen readers and the like.

Hi Jan,

We hear you.

A few suggestions on how to proceed in order for us all to remain in the constructive vein:

Go through the list of all open a11y issues on YouTrack and add comments on the ones that affect you specifically. Make sure to describe your specific use case and whether or not you've found any workarounds. Link to the list: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IJPL?q=%23%7BUI.%20Accessibility%7D%20order%20by:%20created%20desc%20state:%20-Resolved%20
Use public platforms to draw attention to particular problems. Highlight the problems, share open YouTrack links, urge people to vote and leave more comments there.
Ask developers to provide workarounds in YouTrack issues that affect you. Sometimes they are quick to produce, and turn out pretty handy until the issue is resolved.
Try other IDEs on the market. Some of the a11y issues may not exist there or are already fixed.
If you've found such a disparity, you can let us (JetBrains Support) know that our competitors don't have this or that particular problem, and describe the use case. That would be hard evidence which we could then present to our managers to help prioritize open issues.
