Re: [orca-list] Your comments on Bug 735691 - Change default Screen reader shortcut?

I agree with Henry

I personally don't know anyone who uses Windows and Narrator,
everybody uses JAWS or NVDA. It would make more sense to me to define
super+F5, similar to Voiceover, who I'm sure it's used more than
Narrator.

But on the other hand, it's a good idea to "think ahead". What if
Narrator becomes an standard in the future? (I don't think so, seems
very unlikely to me).

2014-08-30 0:02 GMT-04:30, B. Henry <burt1iband gmail com>:

but why not add control alt n, like nvda, or what ever jaws has, if they
have a default these days? Narrator, come on,
give me a break. And anyone coming from win8, will be fighting with secure
boot issues most likely and if they get
throught that they surely can deal with our shortcut.
Seriously, there are not enough rational shortcuts, and having two or three
for one task will just add to confussion as
much as it helps anyone, and it will cause problems for those of us who use
a lot of shortcuts for other thiings...If it
is easly disabled, well maybe, but no, this will not make Linux more
popular, and won't help many people. Windows 8 is not
a standard, and is going to be replaced with something else this year which
may have a different shortcut anyway.

Hi,
I think having a universal way to start a screen reader across OS' is a
great idea. My grumpy side wonders why MS gets to pick the shortcut
though? Why can't they use  super+alt+s, after all, we had it that way
first. But, I havne't yet seen any pigs fly, nor hell freeze over, so I
guess it's up to us to try and maintain some sort of standard. Therefore,
I'm in favor of adding the super+enter shortcut in addition to the
existing shortcut. We can't let them have  it all their own way after all
lol :)

hi. Win+alt+s works fine for me. My only real issue with this is this
seems to be gnome specific. Desktops based off of gnome 3, IE unity,
work with this just fine. However mate, xfce, lxde, others, do not
work with this shortcut. This might be why orca is moving towards
integrating itself into gconf, so each desktop doesn't have to
individually add this shortcut.
Thanks

Hey all.

Bastien Nocera, a long-time GNOME developer and maintainer of
(amongst other things) gnome-settings-daemon, filed the following
bug today:

Bug 735691 - Change default Screen reader shortcut
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735691

<begin quoted opening report> We currently use Alt+Win+S, Windows 8
uses Win+Enter, or Win+Volume up (on tablets):
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hear-text-read-aloud-narrator.

Should we switch to that? Or add it? <end quoted opening report>

Personally, I don't care much what the shortcut is, as long as we
have one and the one we have makes sense. And I myself don't see
any problems with the current shortcut. But if you guys have
opinions, please add them on this mailing list and/or on the bug as
a comment.

Thanks! --joanie _______________________________________________
