How would you feel about adding support for non-terminal widgets into BRLTTY? The AT-Spi2 screen driver already supports them to some extent, but it does not support navigating between them, nor does it have special handling for different widget types. This would be kind of like in Android. I wonder whether other types of widgets than terminals would be best handled by a dedicated screen reader that would communicate with the braille display using BrlAPI. BRLTTY is best in handling terminals, and it could do that and leave other widgets/interfaces for another tool. Of course there would be plenty of possibilities for code sharing, and maybe the BrlAPI server would be the right place for such shared code. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
