Ok, since gnome-shell has a screen magnifier let's say it's an unity issue and it should have one as well
** Project changed: gnome-control-center => unity ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Wishlist ** Summary changed: - Accessibility keybindings don't work + Unity should have a screen magnifier ** Package changed: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603415 Title: Unity should have a screen magnifier Status in Unity: New Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center In gnome-keybindings-properties, in the Accessibility section, there are three entries by default: toggle magnifier, toggle screen reader, and toggle on-screen keyboard. None of these work, whether or not Assistive Technologies is currently running and whether or not orca is currently running. WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN: I should be able to configure a shortcut to any of these actions, such as Ctrl-Alt-A to the Toggle magnifier action. Then, pressing, Ctrl-Alt-A will start the magnifier. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS: I am able to modify the entry in the gnome- keybindings-properties window, but pressing the designated key does not perform any action. That is, the magnifier does not open. Changing the hotkeys for other actions works okay. WHY THIS IS BAD: This is confusing and misleading behavior, and can be especially damaging for people who need the accessibility features. Ideally, the keybindings should be fixed, but otherwise they should be removed from the dialog. This is true under up-to-date Lucid 10.04 tested on several systems.
