Fwd: How to enable focus & caret tracking in magnifier

[Bas Cancrinus <bas cloud64 nl>]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help!

I checked the values of focus-tracking and caret-tracking and they were ok.

So I did some more testing and I found out that focus & caret tracking (partially) works with:

- gedit

- the file browser

- the terminal window

- Rythmbox *

- Evolution *

* = caret tracking doesn't work, magnifier scrolls to wrong position when caret moves

However, it doesn't work at all with:

- Firefox

- LibreOffice

Is there any way to enable caret & focus tracking with Firefox and LibreOffice?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Bas

Hello,
On my running arch linux system with gnome 3.10 I have looked into the file
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier.gschema.xml
From there I can see the schema org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier has the following keys:
mouse-tracking
focus-tracking
caret-tracking

Their possible values include:
none
centered
proportional
push


To find out the possible values I have looked into the following package: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.10/gsettings-desktop-schemas-3.10.1.tar.xz

It appears the UI for these settings did not make it into gnome 3.10 but there are improvements expected for gnome 3.12.

Greetings

Peter

According to the magnifier wiki page [1] focus & caret tracknig are in development. However, related issues referenced by this page [2, 3] are fixed for some time now. This is a very important feature for me, so I tried to activate it with gsettings. Unfortunately I'm stuck and I need some help.

According to the wiki page the following settings control focus & caret tracking:
- Schema:
    org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier
- Keys:
    track-focus-enabled
    track-focus-mode

Those keys are not listed when I query my available keys with:

$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier

How can I enable focus & caret tracking in the gnome-shell magnifier?

I'm on Fedora 20 and my gnome-shell is:

$ rpm -q gnome-shell
gnome-shell-3.10.2.1-2.fc20.x86_64

Many thanks in advance!
Bas
