Title text-keyboard accessibility
Hello
In the title text dialogue box (when you are using a formula/field to set the title of a visualisation), any idea how to expand the second box (Based on field), with the keyboard? I think I have worked out how to navigate it, once you have expanded it.
In general, why is this product so poor for accessibility? For example, you cannot even activate the file menu, with the usual Alt+f (yes I have worked out how to activate it with other keystrokes)?
I am a developer, who is relatively new to Power BI, however, owing to a disability, I can only use my computer with speech recognition software.
Thanks

Dragon496 , some of the shortcuts are mentioned here. See if those can help

Unfortunately, that page does not appear to address the control I mentioned in my original post.

Dragon496 , I tried searching the document, did not find any. I tried excel shortcuts as this an office ribbon, they did not work.
Anonymous , v-juanli-msft , Do we have some documents around the shortcuts?
Hi Dragon496
Power BI has features that enable people with disabilities to more easily consume and interact with Power BI reports. These features include the ability to consume a report using the keyboard or a screen reader, tabbing to focus on various objects on a page, and thoughtful use of markers in visualizations.

Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.

I did not maark it as an aanswer because it did not solve my issue. Yes, Power BI claims to have good accessibility for consumers of reports, however, my question was specifically about when you are developing a report.
