Hello, QT accessibility needs more adoption so it can be improved further. Most of the GTK apps feel more polished but the trend is that accessibility on gnome is slowly degrading. For example yesterday I've tried krusader a KDE file manager for a spin and I am impressed what I've got. It's twin panel file manager similar to what Total commander is on windows it even has some nice features inspired from that such as integrated ftp / webdav client, tabs, multi rename tool, synchronize directories and similar. It also includes configurable file actions and keyboard shortcuts. Some parts are accessible by using flat review, a few buttons are not labbelled but other than this it's working amazingly well. What is so special about it that file tree widget is super super responsive when comparing it with all the GTK based file managers such as nautilus or pcman fm. And also incremental search is working great too. It is working like a list combined with a tree view. Right arrow key expands folders and left arrow key jumps up a level. When using it it feels similar to browsing a popup menu. It's really damn fast and super responsive. Multi selection needs a11y improvements. Also popup menus need a bit of tweaking as it is not clear wich entries are menu items and which ones are submenus. But still it's very usable and in my opinions KDE developers need to hear some positive comments as a reward so they can keep up their great work. Also remember plasma mobile is powerfull linux mobile environment and one day we might hopefully see it in action once we have accessible touch input support.

I'd rather wait until the KDE apps, like Kate and KMail, and all that are made accessible, but yeah I'm very glad we'll have another option, as long as the KDE folks keep it up. QT still doesn't feel as great as GTK, but Mumble is a QT app and still works amazingly well, so maybe it's just general QT developers not taking advantage of QT accessibility.

I don't know of any accessibility work on it, however. _______________________________________________ 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
