When filtering the list, the highlighted window thumbnail "button" is only announced when focus changes.
E.g.:
- open up a whole bunch of notepads
- make sure some other window has focus, e.g.
This PC
- type
n o t e; the screen reader announces a notepad window is now selected after n, then silence
It should be announced after you're done typing.
The problem is, I can't figure out a way to get this to actually work, and googling (or binging?) anything Microsoft related is a lost cause.
If anyone knows how to issue an arbitrary accessibility (particularily voiced) announcement or how to force re-focus a control, do let me know here. I can work out how to get the announcement to work at the correct moment from there. I don't want to pull in libespeak or something ridiculous like that, this just needs to doubly confirm "your control focus has changed since 1s ago, in case you've missed it"
