Re: [orca-list] On Simulating Clicks--was Re: Howto add files to a Brasero project

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
You may call me perfectionist or simply I am really getting awkward when 
it comes to this. I think flat review it-self is just a workaround and 
simulating click in order to be able to operate an app is not optimal 
solution for visually disabled people. Flat review can be used in 
terminal like applications and the same goes for mouse click simulation 
because there are not enough semantic info available to orca through the 
available apis and due to text nature of console applications there will 
never be. In the GUI applications where there are rich APIS flat review 
should only be used for reviewing the text and nothing more. This is how 
I feel.
The issue with Brasero is the same even for sighted keyboard users. 
There is no way to add files into the Brasero project using the keyboard 
only withouth requiring the mouse. Do you guys still think this is not 
an issue?

Greetings

Peter
