Howdy, Tintin++ is pretty much your best bet. I know people who do use it with orca, but you are right, split breaks it. I found this out the other day when I made a three-section screen. My suggestion is use Fenrir for your mudding needs. It was designed as a console screen reader, so it handles terminals better than Orca. Orca does great for light weight use, but for more in depth stuff, Fenrir is where its at. :) There are a couple of ways you can go about running it. If you don't mind switching to a console, usually accessed with control+alt+f2 for example, then setup is pretty easy. I think most distros now have it packaged, so it's just a matter of installing it, and possibly running the pulse configuration tool. You have to do it once as your normal user and once as root, so something like this: /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh sudo /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh Another way that requires a bit more setup is to use something like xterm or urxvt. Those are terminal emulators that are not seen by Orca. I have created an experimental keyboard layout that provides Fenrir navigation keys without getting in the way of the keyboard. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, it seems to be quite efficient. I do need more feedback on it, and it does need some more keybindings to be fully fleshed out. To launch it, using something like xterm, you can do: xterm -e fenrir -e Finally, if you want to use the terminal emulator, but you want to use the standard keyboard layout, which is similar to both Orca and Speakup in some ways, it requires a bit more setup. You would have to change some group permissions, and also come up with a way to turn off Fenrir when you don't want to use it. In the Ratpoison window manager, I haven been experimenting with hooks to do this. It's still not as awesome as I would like it to be, but it does work for the most part. In something like Mate or Gnome, you could probably create a keyboard shortcut to suspend or activate it, a toggle I guess. If you are interested in this method and need help, let me know and I'll do what I can. I did try out some of the graphical mud clients a while back. They are either inaccessible, or have much less functionality than Tintin++. The ones that are accessible seem to contain a built-in terminal emulator that has the same issues. Gnome-mud, for example, did work when I tried it a few years back, but it seemed to be just a gui wrapped around a terminal with a client that isn't much more advanced than telnet.

Hi,Does anyone know of any accessible MUD clients that work with Orca? I tried tintin++, but there are problems with Orca reading output in split mode._______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
