Re: [orca-list] qt apps?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I am not familiar with kaccissible, but many qt aps work well enough with orca with out it.
Others are partially accessible, enough to be usable, and others are not usable at all although orca may read 
some bits and pieces of the interface.
Remember that flat review does not work the same in qt as it does with GTK using aps, i.e. you get page up 
and down buttons for some of the numpad keys, 3 
and 9 I think it is. 
Some unity versions use a lot of QT, but one or more use something else, something custom as I understand it, 
not sure of details, but keeping unity 
accessible has been quite a job if I understand what I've read correctly.
Perhaps Luke can elaborate and correct any errors in what I am saying.
Some developers are not using QT's accessibility features correctly or at all, again I qualify with, "as I 
understand it...".
As far as I know, kde is still pretty far from being a realistic option for blind users.
