All of this obviously applies only to \"console\" builds of the game.\r\n\r\n* \"Log-less mode\" option - make the message log in the sidebar blank out on every update, so that only new messages are visible. This makes screen-reader software able to actually detect the new messages, instead of reading through the entire list as the messages scroll. The full log would still be available in the dedicated message log window.\r\n* \"Navigate to viewed tile\" hotkey - reuse the code currently used for mouse-controlled movement, to navigate the character to the currently focused tile when using the `x` look command, or `V` item list. The feature could be occasionally useful to all players as well.\r\n* Accessible readouts - In combination with the log-less mode, there will be enough empty space on the screen to display some information that can't be easily, well... seen at a glance... in the circumstances. Things like the current sight radius in tiles, the heading of the currently driven vehicle, the direction and distance to nearest hostile monster, etc.\r\n\r\nI'll add to this list as more ideas come up."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/comments/200153358","html_url":"https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/15864#issuecomment-200153358","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/15864","id":200153358,"user":{"login":"kevingranade","id":860276,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/860276?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade","html_url":"https://github.com/kevingranade","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-23T03:45:36Z","updated_at":"2016-03-23T03:45:36Z","body":"Please open separate issues, otherwise it'll get hard to track what is and\nisn't done.\n"}}
