Subject: [orca-list] Booting Ubuntu into
Orca involves too much complicatedkey-sequence (F5, Down, Down, Down,
Enter)
Hi there,
In Ubuntu, during the boot stage the user is shown the
following options after pressing F5 (See Accessible Install of Ubuntu
Feisty ):
- None (has focus)
- High Contrast
- Magnifier
- Screen Reader
- Keyboard Modifiers
- On Screen Keyboard
I this that the 'Screen Reader' option should
be the first option, so that in order to save a blind user from counting the
number of times that he/she have to press the 'Down' button.
Actually,
it would be better if the 'Screen Reader' had its own function key assigned
to, say F10, so that blind users can start Orca with one press of a button,
rather than having to press 'F5, Down, Down, Down, Enter', which seems a bit
demanding, considering the fact that typing the wrong key sequence results in
an un-usable boot from the view point of a blind person.
I guess it
would be hard to persuade Ubuntu team to allocate a function key for Orca in
the main boot menu, but it worth a shot.
Promoting the 'Screen Reader'
option be the first option in the 'F5' menu is also an adequate solution, as
the user would only press 'F5, Enter'.
What do you
think?
