Re: [orca-list] text console use

I just installed it. It speaks both in a console with speakup
and in mate-terminal with orca.

Key bindings from the documentation (don't seem to work in a console):
F1 Opens the documentation (mt in Matae-terminal as that opens the terminal's help instead by default).
ARROW KEYS, PGUP, PGDN Scrolling
CTRL+q Exit app
CTRL+l Focus the URL bar
BACKSPACE Go back in history
CTRL+r Reload page
CTRL+t New tab
CTRL+w Close tab
CTRL+\ Cycle to next tab

ALT+SHIFT+p Takes a screenshot. The status bar will display the saved path
ALT+m Toggles monochrome mode. Useful for overcoming rendering problems on older terminals.
ALT+u Toggles the user agent between a desktop and a mobile device. Useful for smaller terminals that want to 
use a more suitable layout.

Nice try, but far to be as mature as lynx for now.

Best,
Didier

I tried browsh and it opens the browsh home page but once that's done it
appears the keyboard does not respond.  It could be I didn't use the
right keys yet and I'm running this browsh command inside my home
directory.  What's supplied is an executable for browsh.

To play Youtube on a Linux console, use mps-youtube.

About webRTC: I never heard of it until today. The home page says that
Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Android and IOS are supported and there is also
licode:
https://github.com/lynckia/licode

What we need to integrate it with a text web browser like lynx is
developers. Do you volunteer?

Of course a graphical environment is easier to grab. But for those who have
the patience to learn, a text UI is usually as good and usually is more
feature comlete, when it exists.

Stupidly old school? Yes I am, and proud of it.

I didn't grew up on Commodore and stuff, because I used a personal personal
computer for the first time in 1978 (yes, 40 years ago) and neither ms-DOS
(1980) nor Commodore 64 (1082) existed then.

Still I was able to use the computer, which obviously had a proprietary OS,
to translate into French its BASIC interpreter (key words and error
messages), all that in 64 Kb of RAM (yes, kilobytes) and not having the
source code at hand.

O Tempora! O Mores!

Best,

Didier

You find me a CLI browser that can do webRTC and play Youtube without a
graphical environment, and I may change my tune but I'd argue a graphical
environment is easir to grab for everyone unless you're stupidly old
school and grew up on Commodore and DOS stuff.

Funnily I would tend to ask the opposite question: why a blind person
would need a graphical environment?

I know at least one blind Slint users who never use one.

I believe that most things done in a graphical environment can also be
done in a console, often with a better productivity. This stands for
blind as well as sighted people.

A few examples: for writing you have a lot of text and code editors like
nano, emacs and vim, mutt for emails, lynx and links for web browsing,
mplayer to listen to music, vlc to listen to movies, crafty to play
chess, games like freeswipe or scribble, the list goes on and on.

Actually the first personal computer I used nearly 40 years ago didn't
have a graphical environment, maybe that's why I am used to text mode.

I don't know if this is the right list to ask on as it is not strictly
Orca but it is about text screenreaders but is text console use still
necessary. I am not quite clear on this point. The reason is that you
can use the terminals in gnome, Mate or maybe other desktops like
mate-terminal from an alt F2 run prompt which is why I ask about text
consoles, your CTRL ALT F1 to F6 which don't speak with Orca so need a
different screenreader.

Just curious with projects like Fenrir.
