> Hello API people,
> 
> Pointer Lock is an API that provides scripted access to mouse movement data, locks mouse events to a single target, and removes the on-screen cursor [1].
> 
> The pointerlockchange DOM event is fired to indicate when a pointer lock has been engaged/disengaged. Per an issue raised on behalf of APA, this has implications for ATs - in particular screen magnifiers [2].
> 
> The Pointer Lock spec includes a note that acknowledges the need for browsers to communicate to ATs when a pointerlockchange event is fired [3]. The next logical step seems to be to find a place in the APIs for this to be handled - but I'm not sure of the process for doing this, so over to you for thoughts!
