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



In attach the result, sorry for the delay.


What I did?


1. in the terminal I start the listener.

2. I returned to TB and press Up and Down.

3. I hit alt + f2, typed gedit, hit the spacebar, hit backspace and hit return.

4. I typed "this is a test.' and hit return.


5. I Pressed up and down.


I didn't find the up and down keys in the log of the listner, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Hey again.

I've attached an Orca-free listener (i.e. something which will work without Orca to demonstrate the problem). Though using it with Orca is fine.

Could you please perform the same steps as you did before to launch gedit, but this time capture the output you get in the terminal from which you run the attached listener?

Thanks again for all your help hunting this problem down!

It's correct. And my theory appears to be correct. I see key events from your arrowing in Thunderbird and I see key events from your typing in Gedit. But I see nothing from your pressing Alt+F2 and typing in the run dialog.

I will do some tests locally in a working session and then send you an event listener.

Doene, let me know if it is correct.

Thanks.

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.
