Why do you want to do this?

Presumably your accessibility application interacts with the user, and there
is a means by which the user can issue a command (for example, page-down) to
move the cursor on screen.

You can simulate key events with the accessibility API, so even if the user
can't physically operate a keyboard, you can still provide for keyboard input
by another means.

 

Thanks for the prompt response. I am working on Orca screen reader. I want to add a feature that would provide the user with a document summary including all elements (headings, tables, form elements etc.) irrespective of whether they are on-screen or off-screen.
