You have not to appologise for the software you use! :o) I understand that circumstances differ ans each of us have to go accordingly. You just didn't mention your circumstances before ny advice. But i still do not understand the value of the reader from what i have read in the gnome-orca package description. -- As i understood it associates events of keys pressing and app.s running some scripts to respond to that. -- If it was correct, then why you just not use hot-keys of your beloved window manager and some kind of demon that watches those events from the app.s in case it signals some way? -- Another option is looking for something similar as ready solution - may package it yourself, etc. Currently, i, myself, moving from the remnants of «KDE» -- for now it is only «KDM», «Konsole» and «Okular» -- the idea is to find the most close in functionality and usability to those. -- Then it will be no matter any more for me as what a developer of an app.s has chosen to destroy his wonderful ever app. -- i just change it for alternative -- thus, being on functionality, and not the app. itself -- or, choosing functionality, and not the app. itself. And that's how things should be: standarts -- the end unser just chooses what better in his opinion does its work. Whereas as long as you are bound to the overhelming DEs -- you risk to suffer fiasko one day w/ their new and wonderful decisions -- who knows what will they do? -- And you have no option (for it is almost whole OS to you). PS Pardon me, women: under «his» i ment «her» too. :o) С уважением, Ста. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
