I think the reason I don't find them is because I can't access a page with
those items, from the sound of things they are not on a page that can be
accessed with either control tab or hitting right arrow on the part that
directly gives the different tabs focus.
so I believe Paul was incorrect when he suggested this was a support
request. Paul if I can correct you, I don't use the rockbox utility very
much, however I would quite possibly use it if it had features that would be
of use to me, and that were accessible such as voice clip generation which
has accessibility issues with jaws.
My reason for looking at the wiki and pointing out the problems I noticed is
because they are listed as features I can't access, and so I felt they
should be drawn to the lists attention.
I have noticed Domenik as well as a lot of other people saying either blind
people don't help, or they don't give helpful information, so I am trying to
do both. I think the items I was talking about are on a separate tab that
can't be accessed by the keyboard, so that is why I mentioned it to the
list.
