Hi Peter.

Thanks for clarifications.

Hello,

Since GNOME 3.32 terminal has three buttons at the top.
By the way none of these are labelled.
On my computer they are Search, new terminal and menu.
Menu expands some simple menu or better to say list of buttons that are accessible however editing actions such as select and copy that I do use most frequently are not part of this menu.
These buttons are visible on the screen all the time unless terminal is switched to full screen mode (by default it's bound to F11 key).
Therefore pressing F10 moves focus to these buttons however pressing ESC does not move the focus back to the terminal view thus it's required to press the tab key several times until the focus moves back to the terminal view naturally.
The terminal view has a popup menu as well that can be inwoked by pressing shift+F10 or the applications key.
This popup menu has very interesting entry inside. It says Show menu bar and it indeed really does what it says. Below the described Search, New terminal and menu buttons it shows or hides traditional style menu bar.
The only way on how to activate this old style menu bar with orca is by using flat review. At least I was unable to find a better way.
In the Settings window we can inwoke either from the new simplified menu or from the terminal view popup menu there is a section for keyboard shortcuts.
Editing functions such as copy and paste do already have default shourtcut keys assigned however Select all does not.
Action for showing / hiding menu bar is available there too but it's not bound to a keyboard shortcut by default.
Action that would focus old style menu bar is missing from the action list thus it's not possible to assign user specific keyboard shortcut for getting such a functionality back.

So thanks to the gnome terminal developers this is another small part of their job where the accessibility has no longer be considered.


Enjoy partially accessible gnome experience until it lasts.


Greetings

Peter

Hi all.

Today I updated the gnome version to 2.3.32.

As I'm a big user of the terminal, I realized that the menu bar seems to have been replaced

The problem is that I can not access this new bar in a simple way. Every time I press the f10 key the orca just announces something like push button.

The up and down arrows and the esc key also do not take any action, and to exit the menu I need to press the tab key 3 times.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
