[orca-list] Orca, VMWare and Wayland

[Nick Wood <nick microlitesoftware co uk>]

Hi all,

Apologies in advance if this is not entirely Orca related, but as its 
related to keyboard input and many of us rely on the keyboard more than 
fully sighted people, I'm hoping this is a good place to get some feedback.

I have an issue running Orca and VMWare under Wayland:

In the past, once focus switches to the VMWare guest OS, Orca is silent 
and all keyboard input is directed to the guest.  This is great and 
exactly what I'd expect.

Under Wayland, it seems impossible to do an Alt+Tab inside the guest as 
every time I do it, Orca starts speaking and I get switched to another 
application on the host.

Its as if VMWare isn't able to grab all keyboard input under Wayland 
like it does under X.

Has anyone else experienced keyboard issues under Wayland?  And does 
anyone know if I should take this up with Wayland or VMWare?

It's a bit of a Wayland showstopper at the moment, and with more 
distributions switching to Wayland by default I'd really like to get it 
sorted.

Thanks,

Nick
