Re: [orca-list] [OT] Mumble Client and settings?

$ rm -R ~/.config/Mumble

All this should be accessible from the audio wizard. Press alt o and go 
to the audio wizard from there. The first page doesn't read correctly, 
so just click next. Everything else is accessible to Orca with the 
exception of some unlabeled sliders, but you can usually tell what 
they're doing based on the sound that comes from your speakers/headphones.

Any other hints on Mumble appreciated.

Every time you start mumble, you will find that it doesn't speak. There 
is some kind of non-speaking popup overlay that comes up. Press either 
enter or escape to get rid of this, and Mumble becomes nearly as 
accessible as TeamTalk, albeit with a couple of notable exceptions, 
which I list below.

If you leave the workspace/virtual desktop where the Mumble window is 
open, you will find that it is no longer open when you come back to it. 
Sadly, the icon that it puts in the notification area in GNOME classic 
will not allow you to tab to it to reopen the window, and it also messes 
up the focus in your notification area. The best solution I found is to 
run Mumble again from your launcher/main menu. This may or may not 
effect GNOME Shell. Someone let me know, as I'm not currently in a 
position to test it, because the computer I'm using to run Mumble is too 
old to support any kind of compositing, so gnome-shell just doesn't run.

Sometimes, Mumble's focusing within the window behaves very strangely. 
Also, flat review mostly doesn't work. If you find yourself in a 
situation where you can't tab around the main window, try hitting shift 
tab until you hear something. If you don't hear any speech after 
pressing shift tab 5 or 6 times, enable "Speak object under mouse" in 
your Orca preferences. This will speak objects in other windows also, 
but I find it quite helpful in Mumble.

Over all, I am very much encouraged by the development of QT 
accessibility in general, and Mumble accessibility specifically, 
especially given the fact that QT accessibility on Linux is still in its 
infancy. I look forward to the problems I mention above and others in 
other applications being addressed, which appears to be happening at an 
unusually fast pace. It is now time, IMO, to begin working with 
application developers to figure out ways to make their applications 
more usable with the accessibility infrastructure. Hope this helps.
