Re: [orca-list] Orca and Skype updates?

[Rastislav Kiss <rastislav kish gmail com>]

Hi there,
the problem with Chromium (Chrome's core) is, that its accessibility is
still at experimental stage. Although it works quite well, it must be
activated manually.
First by setting ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED environment variable in terminal
to 1, like
export ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1
and then launching with parameter --force-renderer-accessibility like
google-chrome --force-renderer-accessibility

The same goes for Skype, as Electron, its gui framework uses Chromium
to render its windows.
skypeforlinux --force-renderer-accessibility

It should be possible to automate this process, either by creating a
bash script or by configuring ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED to be global
environment variable and including the --force-renderer-accessibility
to Skype's icon.
I am not sure how to do the lastone, but it should be possible.

Best regards

Rastislav
