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

Wow, sounds pretty good! I guess I should learn about cinnamon then, since it'll be the next thing a lot of people explore, I'm sure, since the top dev is good about accessibility, and this is an actual desktop part of things, not just a distro, as manjaro is.

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
