The only one I can think of is users of scanning devices who need to perform actions on the desktop that cannot be achieved with standard keyboard shortcuts (but in my view that's a bug in those applications).
SOK currently works well with head pointing devices and we are adding scanning device support. We currently do not have direct AT-SPI functionality but we are making a script feature that will let us control desktop functions via dog-tail.

Is there a standard set of such GDM access keys?

We just want to see this implemented, and don't care too much where or by whom. gnome-mag is probably the best place for it. - Henrik _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
