Re: How to enable focus & caret tracking in magnifier

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Unfortunatelly I don't know more about magnifier and related functionalitybecause I am completelly blind thus I can take no advantage of it. I have just tried to help you out to find what you were looking for.
To better diagnose this we will most likelly need to wait for anyone more knowledgeable to answer.

Thanks and greetings

Peter

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
