Re: [orca-list] volume and screen brightness overlays not accessible to orca?

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,


I am not sure we are tallking about the same thing, however in gnome, 
you can press ctrl+alt+tab to go to the top pannel, then keep pressing 
right arrow key until you land on the system menu, then press down arrow 
key and you will see volume and brightness sliders you can adjust with 
left and right arrow keys.


I am afraid something like this is not accessible with mate, however I 
think there is hopefully not a problem with this when using gnome.


Greetings


Peter
