Re: [orca-list] Webkit



If all these apps would just make navigation possible, and there's nothing special Orca needs to do, that would be ideal! Why not just make this navigation be on as the webkit default; app developers who use webkit wouldn't have to worry about the extra line or 2 of code.

Hey Alex.

What we need each WebKitGtk app to do is make caret navigation possible.
Doing so should not be too difficult, as far as I am aware. WebKitGtk
supports it and does all the heavy lifting; the app itself would just
need to make its use something you could turn on, e.g. by pressing F7.
If those apps would do this, a lot more of them would just work with
Orca without much (and possibly without any) work needing to be done
within Orca. Wouldn't that be cool?

Take care.

Hi, Joannie,

I was wondering if you could tell me if there are any definitive plans
to improve the accessibility of Webkit applications in the near
future.  I don't just mean browsers though Epiphany and Chrome would
be nice but, rather other things that rely on Webkit would be nice to
be able to use.  Gwibber social client Anjuta's devhelper area,
anything that gives the "html content" message and can't be navigated
with flat review or otherwise.  I'm guessing there's a minimalist
webkit plugin out there that people use much like they do with
Scintilla Editor on some Ides and just pop it in whenever they want to
display html content in their application for some reason.  If I'm
right, are there any plans on the books to get those components
working with Orca?

sorry for all the questions,
Alex M
