[orca-list] Mate: Annuncing editable text field on the desktop

[Raphaël POITEVIN <rpoitevin hypra fr>]

Hi,

Today, in Mate, on the desktop, when reaching an icon by typing the 
first letters, Orca annunce a text field is focused, and the desktop 
comeback. For my team and me, and users we know, thi behavior is very 
heavy. In Windows, when typing the first letters, it annunce simply the 
icon.

Technically, in Caja, there is aan invisible text field when typing text 
on the desktop.

We managed to disable focusing this text field, but, it seems it could 
involve others problem for the languages which contain special 
characters. The idea would consinst in lying to Orca to hide this text 
field.

It could be discussed. Is there a sense to tell to the user we are in a 
text field when typing characters on the desktop?

Regards,
