Re: [orca-list] Implementing accessibility for i3wm

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

StormDragon did something like that for Ratpoison, I'm wondering if 
something like that could be done for i3. I'll admit I've always been 
intrigued by i3 and I'm definitely curious how Orca would work with it. 
To jump back to the Ratpoison DE, StormDragon managed to get Orca to 
work with an ultra minimalist environment, so I'm wondering if something 
like that could be done for i3WM. I'm definitely intrigued. I'll admit. 
I like Mate, but......ya know......I like choices.
