Re: [orca-list] Is Cinnamon accessible with Orca?

hi


Cinnamon isn't fully accessible yet, but they are definitely working on 
it. They just closed a bug that was keeping sounds from playing when you 
turned on toggle keys. Keys like caps lock, num lock, etc. They 
definitely have a ways to go but as soon as it's accessible there will 
be a sonar cinnamon edition. I'm keeping on top of it. I've posted a few 
messages to this list but joanie has always replied back with it's their 
bug, which means they need to fix their accessibility. I don't know 
where the rumor got started that the head guy didn't care about 
accessibility but when I talked to him he was extremely good about it. 
Put orca right back into mint when it was previously removed. If you 
guys want I can happily keep the list updated about cinnamon 
accessibility. Currently the desktop icons read, so do the file manager. 
Their settings control panel is a little bit odd with orca and you can't 
get to the panel or the dash with orca. Once those are fixed cinnamon 
will be fully accessible.
Thanks
