What would happen to the focus of the typing if we do that? 
Just want to make sure we don't accidentally break actual typing for users who need ChromeVox.
Shouldn't affect typing at all. Our goal is just to create a good experience for blind users on a touchscreen Chromebook.

I finished making the virtual keyboard window part of the accessibility tree. That was a technical detail, we had been missing it because it was directly embedded in an aura Window instead of in a View or in a tab. Now that works.

Next we just want to improve the feedback when you tap on a key.

Actually, I'm still not seeing the keyboard if ChromeVox was already running. I have to toggle it off then back on to see it. Can you please take another look? Thanks!

Also, feel free to reassign if you don't have time to look.
