I suppose having both would get too long, "123 words: Beginning
text...ending text copied to clipboard". I still feel the first
and last words copied are the most important in the notification.
Ok, I will play a little with this.
Is it possible to run this extension in the Unity 2D desktop?
No, this is a GNOME Shell extension.
Best regards

Just like the F123 community, the Vinux community has a desire
to know the contents of the clipboard. I often use Storm's
customization Read Clipboard key binding in the current
releases of Vinux. From a technical view, I like the
clipboard notifier approach. It does not require finding
another free key binding that makes sense, and does not
require the user to hit another keystroke. It just happens.
Which requires no extra training. I like the word count, but
I agree that the first and last words are the most important.
So my question is: how to keep the word count and the first and
last words (as you mentioned that it is the most important)?
Which notification text format do you have in mind?
Personally, my need to hear confirmation of
Control + v, is not as important, since the new text should
now be visible.
Our team will test and evaluate this extension for inclusion
in Vinux. Thank you for creating this extension.

Hi
Piñeiro,
I am familiar with the debate that took place on the list
regarding this issue. Yet, among non-technical users we have
received ample feedback, both from students, teachers, and
other F123 users that this is an important feature for them.
They all want some kind of acknowledgement of what takes
place with CTRL C and CTRL V etc. So thank you for working
on this and as soon as we have testing feedback we will get
in touch.
Best regards,
Fernando

Hi,
while talking about new stuff to add/improve on GNOME,
Joanmarie
mentioned that one feature that appears now and then is
getting a
notification when the content of the clipboard changes.
Some examples of
this now and then here [1] and here [2].
The brief summary of those mails is: that feature doesn't
belong to
Orca. After all, Orca is a screen reader so it should
focus on ... well,
focus on read the screen. On those mails it is mentioned
that if the
user is interested on that feature, "something" should
show a
notification, and Orca would just read it.
But in the same way, I feel that this doesn't fit also as
a
accessibility core feature for the desktop (on GNOME,
GNOME Shell). The
desktop should expose the proper information to be read,
and this seems
something on top. And in the same way it is something that
some users
are interested and some others not. For that "some users
are interested
and some others not", is the reason we concluded that the
proper way to
implement this is with a GNOME Shell extension [4]. For
what it worth, a
extension is just a mechanism to add custom functionality
to the
desktop. On GNOME2 we had something similar on the panel,
the applets.
So these days I was implementing a small extension called
"Clipboard
Notification". What it does right now:
* When the content of the PRIMARY clipboard changes it
sends a
accessible notification.
* The content of that notification is the following:
* If the text has less that 20 words: "Clipboard:
<all the text>"
* If the text has 20 words or more: "Clipboard: X
words copied to
the clipboard"
We (Joanmarie and me) have tested it with GNOME Shell 3.4
and 3.6 (the
next release of GNOME) and Orca expose it properly. In
order to install
it, you just need to go to the extensions page:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/451/clipboardnotification/
This feature could be improved, like configuring the
number or words,
and I'm still investigating on how to distribute a
translated version of
the extension. But at this moment, I still consider this
as "beta", and
before working more on this I want to be sure that someone
is interested
on this feature. After all, if nobody uses it, it doesn't
worth to use
my time here.
So, if anyone is interested, please test it, and provide
any feedback.
Best regards
