文本模式的谎言:现代终端用户界面对可访问性的危害

文章指出,许多开发者错误地认为终端应用程序由于缺乏图形界面,因此具有可访问性。

然而,现代终端用户界面(TUI)框架,如Ink和Bubble Tea,通过将终端视为一个二维网格而非文本流,反而严重损害了视障用户的体验。

这些框架的频繁重绘和状态更新会引起屏幕阅读器的干扰和系统崩溃,导致输入延迟和信息混乱。

文章建议开发者避免使用依赖大量重绘的现代框架,并鼓励采用类似nano和vim那样允许隐藏光标的策略,或像Irssi这样利用VT100滚动区域的方案,以提升终端应用程序的可访问性。

The mythical, it's text, so it's accessible

There is a persistent misconception among sighted developers: if an application runs in a terminal, it is inherently accessible. The logic assumes that because there are no graphics, no complex DOM, and no WebGL canvases, the content is just raw ASCII text that a screen reader can easily parse.

The reality is different. Most modern Text User Interfaces (TUIs) are often more hostile to accessibility than poorly coded graphical interfaces. The very tools designed to improve the Developer Experience (DX) in the terminal—frameworks like Ink (JS/React), Bubble Tea (Go), or tcell—are actively destroying the experience for blind users.
