Here's another one for you then: Could a script be used that would insert the needed lines into the configuration file for KDE? Any user who wanted to activate it could run it from a console session. It could have a name like ACTIVATE-SCREENREADER and require root priveleges to be run. The fact that it is written in upper case and that it is a long string along with it's requiring sudo before it is run should preclude any possibility of someone running it accidentally. It would have the benefit of something being there for those who needed it which would automate all the steps necessary for it to get set up while not impacting those who don't in any way other than having a small text file on their system (doesn't have to be long). It would allow for more people to be able to test the screen reader. Just conjecturing. Thanks for having been willing to consider the hotkey feature. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
