I have been trying to use FoundryVTT, and help a friend use it. But right now, FoundryVTT could use some work in the accessibility department. It is a typical Electron app, which are a mixed bag in my opinion when it comes to accessibility, but in Foundry’s case I have just found it does need help, as it has a few significant dead ends/loops you cannot escape, and not enough hot keys to access everything without being forced to use a mouse.
It wouldn’t take much to fix it, but they do need a dedicated Accessibility expert to look at it,
OK maybe the dead ends and loops are not as bad as I thought. But they did require an awful lot of tabbing. And in general there are just some widgets and things in the canvas area that are just off limits unless you use the mouse. Also the control label descriptions are no help.
I really want to promote FoundryVTT, because I like it as a VTT platform overall. But from an accessibility standpoint it is getting a failing grade.

Hope that helps,
