Dear users and developers,
My name is Janusz Chmiel and I Am doing my best to have LXDE desktop
environment functioning with Orca screen reader while using Termux, Proot,
Debian Buster ARM64 Bit edition and Orca screen reader.
I have very big plea to advanced users or LXDE developers.
To have Orca screen reader to work with LXDE, lxde-appearance app must be
executed. It contain checkbox enable assistive technology support. But
unfortunately, LXDE developer have used SHMget sys call, which is
incompatible with Android Proot module. Android kernel do not implement shm
shared memory calls in general.
So would some body of you tell Me, if I can replace lx-appearance app with
some Bash script which would enable Orca support for Lxde? But I Am afraid,
that recoding Lx-appearance so it will not call shared memory would be too
complex for LXDE development team.

Next heavy and complex issue.
Which LXDE related module detect, if ALT+F1 or ALT+F2 have been pressed?
Very probably, scan codes for those hod keys differs when comparing it with
running LXDE on standard Linux operating system, which uses IBM/PC
compatible computer.
I do not think, that I can simply remap hod keys for example, ALT+F2 to
CTRL+r.
And ALT+F1 as CtRL+m.
Would you point Me on some source code file name, which defines this hod
keys? Is it lxde-hodkey module?

Because LXDE do not call shared memory too often, it would be ideal
environment also for visually impaired users. I have some successes with
Mate, but Orca lost focus on Desktop. And LXDE allocates less RAM so it
would be ideal even for chroot environments.

If somebody would have some time to give Me some advices, please let Me
know.

Sure, I can try to independently download LXDE source for Debian Buster
ARM64 stable by using special Debian command, I can try to recompile whole
LXDE, but please, tell Me, which .c source module contain routines for
detecting hod keys to activate run application dialog and for activating
menu. ALT+F2 and ALT+F1.

Those keys do not work at all when running Lxde from chroot environment.
Thank you very very much for yours help.
With kindness regards.

Janusz Chmiel
