Re: [orca-list] electron apps/visual studio code



What about trying to build electron master + vscode tagged or master? i
actually didn't exclude things like that when asking that question.

My understanding of Orca master's Chromium accessibility is that, to the
extent that it may or may not function, it is tied to either unreleased
or development Chromium builds.


My understanding of Electron is that their releases are timed to ship
with specific stable milestones of Chromium, with M76 support scheduled
to arrive tomorrow for whatever that may be worth:

So there are a couple variables. First is Electron native support for a
stable version of Chromium with accessibility, which I don't think
exists yet. Next are all the Electron apps you'd want to use, which need
to update to a version of Electron with whatever minimum version of
Chromium is accessible. Since I don't think we have a minimum stable
accessible Chromium, #1 hasn't even arrived, and since there hasn't been
an Electron release with a recent version of Chromium, #2 definitely hasn't.


So in short, I'm no expert, but I strongly suggest the answer is no.
Electron apps aren't yet accessible, and we'd be looking at a few more
months after a stable Chromium lands before they even have the option of
upgrading to a potentially accessible Electron. And having the option
doesn't necessarily mean they'll take it, though at that point we'd at
least have the opportunity to upgrade any open source apps ourselves.


Sorry. Looking forward to accessible VSCode myself.

Hey,
Not sure if it is possible now to use visual studio code on linux?
I know it is electron, electron uses chromium engine, and current
chromium is not accessible, but on the other hand accessibility support
is being added to it at this very moment, so not sure if it is somehow
possible to make it work now, even in a hacky way? I have orca master so...
