Re: [orca-list] problems to use alt+f2



If the application launches, but Orca provides no feedback, it suggests that Orca is not being notified of the keys you are pressing. Orca needs these notifications for key echo, and it also uses them as part of its logic to determine what to echo when the caret moves (to determine how much of the line it should speak).

Could you please capture me a full debug.out? In particular, I'd be interested in seeing the following:

1. Press a key in firefox or thunderbird. Perhaps moving to the next
   line on a web page or in an email. This would be helpful to see
   that for other apps things are working as expected.
2. Press Alt+F2
3. Type the name of an app to launch and press Return
4. Do a quick task in the app you launched (type a few characters or
   get into a menu or press Tab to change focus. Again, to see that
   some key presses are being emitted).

If my hypothesis is correct, we'll see no key events from step 3. And if that's the case, I'll make you an Orca-free keystroke listener which you can use to see if you get the same results. And if you do, then we can use that info to file a bug.

Thanks for your help with this. Wish I could travel with multiple computers....

Hi all.


After upgrading to gnome 3.34, I can no longer reliably use alt + f2 to launch an application.

I press alt + f2, start typing the name of the app but get no feedback from the orca.

Even when I use the arrow keys to visit what was typed the orca is muted.

Thanks.
