Re: [orca-list] Prevent Orca from eating keys while in a kvm guest



Hi Jeremy,

Bit of a long shot, but are you using Wayland on your Linux host?

I know there was a bug in Wayland to do with keyboard interception when working in a virtual machine.

The solution for me was to switch back to X.

However, I use VMWare not KVM - but it could well be the same issue.

Regards,

Nick

Hello everyone,

I have an odd issue that I hope someone can help with.

I'm running a Windows 10 guest inside kvm, managed with Virt-Manager. This is on an Ubuntu 19.10 system.

In the guest, I'm using NVDA as my screen reader. Whenever I try to use the numpad keys to review the screen in the guest, Orca intercepts them. Orca also intercepts the caps lock key. Is there a way to keep Orca from intercepting keys, aside from quitting it?

If possible, I'd like to be able to keep Orca running, so that I can get notifications from the host. while working in the guest.


Thanks,

Jeremy
