bug: macro creation is difficult to use with a screen reader

[WarmUpTill]

Thank you for pointing this out!
I will add it to the todo list.

So far I have not looked into the tab order at all and this might be quite a bit of work since widgets are added and removed dynamically in the action / condition areas, which probably affects the tab order a lot.
So let me apologize in advance if this will take a while.

Regarding "I expect all controls to be read":
Do you know how I can achieve this for e.g. buttons which do not have any text or in general how I can control what is read out and what is not?
Are you aware of how this was solved for OBS itself?

in fact I did bug the nonlabelled buttons on obs's GitHub, as I'm facing the same issue in some of those controls. They are aware of the issue, I'm just not sure how to solve that. Because the order of the macro actions we can place, and regarding the fact they could change, maybe if the check boxes were labeled properly and / or if sections were somehow divided so we could easily jump to them? I'm not sure if we can reorder sections yet, but one step at a time for now. I look forward to problem solving this with you. Maybe I'm also overthinking this as well. Thanks so much.

I merged some initial changes adjusting the tab order and adding more tool tips which seem to be picked up by the screen readers.
The bluk of the work - the support for the macro conditions and actions - is still pending however.

Thanks so much. I’m not home for the next 2 weeks so cannot test. If you need to download nvda while I’m away you can get nvda at their website <http://nvda-project.org/> , if I forgot not link it in my original bug report. Of corset her is no substitute for testing with an experienced screen reader user, however this will work for the time being and will enable you to see what I’m seeing, no pun intended. Thanks so much for working with this. It is very much appreciated.
