Will this focus tracking mechanism be used for the shell OSK as well ? Yes, in the sense that the mechanism is neutral with respect to who can use it. So, it's not specific to the magnifier; the magnifier is but one of its users. -- joseph 'I had some dreams, they were clowns in my coffee. Clowns in my coffee.' - C.

Feature proposal: Focus caret/tracking in GNOME Shell
Description === The GNOME Shell magnifier currently relies on Orca to track the current keyboard focus, scrolling the view of the magnified content to include the focused UI element or caret position. This is acceptable for the very few users who require both a screen reader and screen magnifier simultaneously.

Owner Joseph Scheuhammer Involved Parties == GNOME Shell team, gsettings-desktop-schemas maintainers (for different modes of focus-tracking), gnome-control-center (for providing UI for focus-tracking preferences), a11y team Current Status = Implementation of a shell based focus tracker is just starting, but the plan is to develop it a in time for 3.4. The plan is here [1]. Bugzilla: * GNOME Shell Magnifier should track focus and the caret [2].
