Re: [orca-list] Could it be possible to add a desktop file to Orca

[Brandon Tyson <brandongold98 gmail com>]

Hi,

A lot of times now, when you use alt+super+s in distributions that
support it, will cause Orca to turn on at startup.
For example, this is what happens in Ubuntu Mate.

Then, if you use alt+super+s at the logon screen, it will activate
Orca and then it will speak the logon screen automatically in the
future, until alt+super+s is pressed again to turn it off.

Thanks,

Brandon
