Description
Zulip-terminal uses a "TUI", i.e. vertical splits of the terminal, to provide an
intuitive user experience.
Unfortunately, screen readers read, on the command line, the screen from left to
right, hence mixing all vertical splits into a single one, when navigating the
screen line by line. This renders the UI unusable.
For screen readers, a vertical split works much better (compare irssi, mutt,
...).
If the different windows could be displayed from top to bottom, it would make
this application accessible.
Screens are usually wider these days, so this would likely be an optional
feature, but I would appreciate if this could be considered, as this would allow
me to use Zulip.
