Use of gconf key '/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility' on KDE ?

2006-06-26 Thread Ashu Sharma
Hi, There was discussion about making use of ATK on KDE, rather than putting in another CORBA implementation to talk to AT-SPI (to avoid dependency on GNOME-related libraries).I'm not quite clear as to what was finally decided. On a related note, is the gconf

Hi Chris: The answer is, don't implement sticky keys in your keyboard. You should be using the system-wide StickyKeys settings and feature instead (as GOK does). Interfering with the normal operation of the system wide setting (i.e clashing with it as your app does), is itself an accessibility

Hi Ashu: Currently the state of KDE accessibility is somewhat limited. Other than some important theming and keyboard-navigation support, which does not require a complex interface such as AT-SPI, there are only a few useful utilities like KMag, KMouth, and KMousetool. While these are nice

Thanks for your reply. The system-wide StickyKeys is too inflexible for my needs. I have the following gripes: * A user might want the onscreen keyboard to be sticky but not the physical. * It does not allow me to implement the functionality in a way that is suitable for an onscreen

Hi Chris, One more thing. You write: Using the system wide sticky keys means I need to have at least one dialog box when my keyboard starts and is therefore completely unacceptable. Have you filed an RFE on this issue (seeking a way to invoke the system-wide Sticky-Keys functionality
