Re: [OT] Access for assistive devices

Personally, I wish there was a way to only enable it for applications I trust.
Specific example: Ventrilo needs it in order to detect "push-to-talk" keypresses when it is not the foreground app, but I don't want to enable it for apps other than Ventrilo.

What's the downside of turning on access for assistive devices?

Any old app can read the window titles and UI elements of other apps, and remote-control them. It could be a security risk depending on what data you have open right now.
