Re: [g-a-devel]Accessibility for Profterm

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

Hi Pasupathi ,

Your enalysis looks exactly right to me.  The libzvt accessibility support 
should be complete.  I'm not saying it's bug free :) but I think all of the 
AtkText interface is implemented.  The only outstanding accessibility issue 
with libzvt is that there is currently no way via the keyboard to sellect 
text in the terminal.  It could be argued that the AtkText selection 
methods will suffice, but strictly speaking, there isn't a way to select 
from the keyboard.
