Re: [orca-list] Gwibber: Holy smoke! I got it to work for real!

Hello,
That's a pretty good move however there is verry little info available on this I can find. I've only found this bug where there is no info on what to do next: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/682235 

According to my limited knowledge I assume the following:
Now while the main gwibber window is in the foreground I can use the tab key and the text of the posts is conveyed as a label where I can use standard navigation commands to review text. However the time, the sender and other related info are not conveyed this way. While this window has focus I can use page up and page down keys and the view scrols so other posts can be seen. By clicking one of the toolbar buttons which are not currently labelled we can filter the timeline or display additional timelines to the right to the main timeline.
For confortable use it would be nice to be able to jump from a message to the next / previous message and be able to keep the selection preserved so toolbar buttons which do action based off of the selection can be used. Then also there should be an ability to jump to the next / previous column to switch between displayed timelines. 

Can you think on what to do, what to report?

Is there an easier approach?

Do you guys know if accerciser might be of some help to me if I am blind?

I have some knowledge of python and would like to know more about this.
Currently I am progressing verry slowly, however finally I feel this is a real world example which is not too difficult and might considerably help the community. 

Thanks for possible additions and corrections.

Greetings

Peter

Hi, Peter,

Your experience is quite similar to mine.  I use flat review in the
update dialog to update my status.  I control which network I update
to by toggling the push buttons for them on and off again, with flat
review.  The tab key only puts tab characters in when you are in the
status update box.  I think this is normal behavior for the
application.  I can't reply and retweet with it either yet.  I've had
a small bit of success with facebook comments but it is still shaky.
Reading my Facebook and twitter isn't hard though.  I tab my way
through the columns and I deduce which service I'm reading by length
of posting.  Tweets are very noticeably shorter than facebook
statuses.  The big problem I see in Gwibber right now is the buttons
under the menu bar are not labeled.  They all say push button.  These
are the ones that help you retweet and reply.  This is not perfect but
it is leaps and bounds better than what it was before which was no
accessibility in the html portion of the window where your tweets and
posts appeared.

I mostly use Gwibber to get a quick high level look at what is going
on with my social networks without having to go on the sites.  When I
want to reply to tweets and retweet them, I still use Smuxi.  Liking
and commenting on Facebook is still done on the m.facebook.com page.
I do find value in Gwibber in that it saves me time since I don't have
to weed through all the postings using Firefox.  I know which ones I
want to respond to and so forth and can just go right to them quickly.

It would be very very nice to just have Gwibber be the one stop place
for passive and active social networking though as it is a pain to
have to use three different places when other people can just use one.
  We need to go file bugs with the developers of  Gwibber asking them
if they could please label the push buttons for us.  Mean time, I've
been experimenting with them just pushing them and seeing what happens
and trying to memorize the order they appear in.  I'm a little
reluctant to go full throttle on that because I don't want to
accidentally post some crazy stuff to my wall and time line.  Perhaps
someone in the Orca community who has some vision could list the
buttons in order that they appear from left to right for us and we can
go from there?  That just might solve the problem.  Pity we can't
assign them permanent labels with Orca.

Hello,
I am also interested in this.
I am on ubuntu 12.04 with gwibber 3.4.2 and orca 3.4.2.
I have the following experience:
- the account setup can be made I just need to use the mouse to click
the add... button.
- single column view of a twitter timeline can be read using flat
review, however if there are multiple time lines shown in more than one
columns using flat review is not a viable option.
- I am unable to retweet / repeat an item nor I can reply because I dont
know how to.
- unity pannels integration is working perfect, I can see all the
options in the menu above the empathy related items.
- as the update status window comes up, edit field has the the focus and
I am unable to use tab or shift+tab to navigate in this dialog so I can
toggle the accounts or send the message using standard navigation. I can
only access different items in this dialog by using flat review.

Can you please tell me what should I update to get the experience
similar to what Alex has presented?
I have tried to add gwibber-daily ppa into my system to update to the
latest development gwibber however I can see no update to gwibber in the
software center and apt-get instal gwibber gives me a message saying
gwibber is already the latest version.

thanks and greetings

Hi, Alex

I'm looking at gwibber with unity 2d.  I configured twitter, and can
sort-of see incoming and past tweets.  I cannot figure how to reply to a
selected tweet.  Any ideas?  I found "replies" on that messages menu,
but "reply".  Maybe things look different when using gnome shell?

All right.  A couple of days ago, I reported some small success with
setting up my Twitter and Facebook on Gwibber on my Precise
installation.  It was working OK for reading but not for writing if you
take my meaning.  Well, turns out Gnome 3 (and I'm sure everyone knew
this but  me!) has some menu integration for Gwibber which makes
tweeting and updating your wall real easy.  Now, this only works if you
have Gwibber launched.  In the message menu, you arrow down past all the
empathy options until you pass Broadcast.  You see Update status,
messages reply and private.  Update status takes you to a window with an
edit box and some buttons for all the social networks you have set up.
They are perfectly accessible and you can toggle them on and off so that
you either post to only one of your networks or post the same message
simultaneously to all of them.  You select the one you want, type in
your message, click send and it's off!  Wonderful stuff!
