Re: [orca-list] orca master cannot rout the cursor in terminals




hi
lol no worries. If it can't be fixed, it can't be fixed. It's not your fault vte doesn't allow it. I can open a bug and ask for this to be added, but it's really up to them at that point.
Thanks

Hey Kendell.

I can confirm this. I can also confirm that it's not a regression in
Orca (which was my first suspicion when you specifically mentioned Orca
master). Looking into it further, I discovered that VTE does not allow
re-positioning the caret via the accessible text interface. So to fix
this issue, VTE would need to add that support.

As a related aside, I cannot help but wonder if this behavior is
intentional. Setting the caret via AT-SPI2/ATK's text interface is the
functional equivalent of clicking with the mouse in the text. And
clicking with the mouse in a terminal, even when running an editor like
Emacs or Nano, does not re-position the caret.

As a related aside to the related aside: No, I cannot hack around this
by synthesizing a mouse click because as I stated above, clicking
doesn't move the cursor in the terminal either.

hi all

Steps to reproduce

Open a terminal, and type some text. Test works, but anything will do.
Try to press one of the cursor routing keys to route the cursor to a
letter. Orca should route the cursor to that letter and if it's a
different word, expand that word to computer braille, but it doesn't.
It's possible that since I have the selection indicator set to none this
doesn't work, but I'm not positive. This requires a braille display to
test, so if you don't have one you won't be able to test. This is with
orca master, completely up to date and sonar linux, also completely up
to date.

Thanks
