Re: [orca] Re: Braille navigation issues with Orca 44.1
Ok but at this point which is the exactly the main function of brltty-x11?

Is any place in a web page really a text-filed? Yes. Or more precisely: they all expose a text interface, even if they don't have a text role. Since apparently orca doesn't capture routing key events, these events fall back to being exposed to the a2 driver, which gives it to brltty, which uses a2 to read the widget content, and perform the cursor routing. Also, if the a2 screen driver "just" takes precedence, shouldn't things still work when it's not there? If Orca was capturing routing key events, yes. It appears that doesn't happen. In the test I made with Roberto's case, it really was brltty's way of pressing arrows to simulate routing, that Orca doesn't implement anyway. knows it brings better support in that case (the cursor routing you get is achieved by the brltty core itself, not the a2 driver which is only the "messenger"). But that is not what is supposed to happen when you click (use cursor routing keys) on links in Firefox, right? Ah, that part seems odd however, indeed. But again, which version of brltty are you using? So it's not really Orca that "depends" on brltty-x11, it's just that brltty-x11 is an interesting complement to Orca, to improve screen reading. I don't think it's fair to put things this way frankly. Currently, you simply can't read the screen in braille without brltty-x11... If that is so, it's a bug that needs a fix in Orca, and not just make people install brltty-x11 as a workaround that we don't even understand how it happens to work.

Re: [orca] Re: Braille navigation issues with Orca 44.1
Ok I ask another thing about braille navigation that is strange but I did not find any solution: When I am in a browser and navitate with pan key, when I encounter an unordered or ordered list, the braille display stay on the first item and do not go on te following. To go to the next item I have to press down arrow key. Have you an idea about this behaviour?

So it's not really Orca that "depends" on brltty-x11, it's just that brltty-x11 is an interesting complement to Orca, to improve screen reading. That being said, perhaps the orca package should still recommend brltty-x11, the same way it recommends xbrlapi which also improves it. We however need to be very cautious because installing brltty-x11 installs brltty, which enables usb-serial drivers which hurt ftdi serial adapters users. I'll see how to arrange that.

Hello Didier, Thank you for your response. Which distribution are you using for xlqt?

I was about to recommend to also give a go to LXQt (mostly accessible and now my daily driver), but the version available as a meta-package in Debian is still 0.16.0 while the most recent one is 1.1.0, so probably better wait until and/or request that it be updated.
