**Wayland:** on a Wayland desktop the app runs through XWayland when it is available, because
|
||||
winit (the windowing library) supports dragging files into the window only on X11. To use the
|
||||
native Wayland backend instead (for example for sharper text with fractional scaling, at the cost
|
||||
of file drag-and-drop), start it with `WORDCRAFT_WAYLAND=1`:
|
||||
of file drag-and-drop), choose **File › Options › Advanced › Linux display server › Wayland**; it
|
||||
applies the next time WordCraft starts, and **X11 (XWayland)** or **Automatic** switches back. The
|
||||
`WORDCRAFT_WAYLAND` environment variable overrides the setting: `1` for native Wayland, `0` for
|
||||
XWayland:

| Screen readers (VoiceOver, Narrator, Orca) | AccessKit on; the document canvas describes paragraphs, headings (level), list items, tables, links, pictures (alt text) and the caret and selection, for the pages on screen (#488); the ribbon's font name and size boxes, and the dropdown arrows beside them, say what they are (#3172); Windows Magnifier follows the caret, also onto an empty line after Enter or Shift+Enter (#1119); File › Home and New's templates and recent documents are buttons named by their caption or file name, with the path when two file names are the same (#3176); not yet tried with real screen readers | full | 50% | 5–8 |
