So what's the easiest,simplest way to try out the KDE/Plasma
stuff given I'm running Ubuntu Mate on my system, is it to spin up
a VM and fidle with Arch or?
Howdy,
Whats accessible so far in Plasma (the KDE Desktop component itself) :
- the desktop icons
- the main menu / start menu (and its alternatives)
- the task-switcher / Window Switcher
- some parts of KCM
- KRunner (the powerful search and execute dialog similar to ALT + F2 in mate, but a hell more powerful)
- Klipper, the clipboard-manager (but needs in the current version still bound to an shortcut by yourself)
whats still bad?
- KCM is not completely accessible (special the network dialog, you cannot choose a WIFI i.e. ); but most of the tasks could be done using other tools to work around this situation currently. (Work in progress)
- Performance needs tweaked
- Wayland doesn't work yet properly, also if an initial implementation exists.
- Desktop-Notifications
- Tray icon is not keyboard navigate able (Work in progress)
- sddm loginmanager
cheers chrys

Really appreciate the accessibility updates you have taken the time to implement. Is there anything in particular that isn’t accessible for those of us that want to try out KDE?

Nice find. I wasn't aware of lightdm-slick-greeter. I'm guessing that
like lightdm-gtk-greeter, it can be configured to start orca
automatically.
yes
Lightdm-gtk-greeter does have the added benefit of the
graphical configuration tool, which needs a little work, but is pretty
much usable.
haven't used it so can't comment.
But on a new install, as long as /etc/lightdm/lightdm-
slick-greeter.conf can contain a line that starts orca or a shortcut
key can be pressed that starts it, it does sound like another good
option.
yes default gnome shortcut will start orca.
In fact, if the shortcut works, it will be somewhat better than
lightdm-gtk-greeter, as its shortcut for some reason doesn't work for
me, and I had to configure it manually.
as far as I remember, everything works out of the box. at least I didn't have to change any configs.
except of course lightdm.conf
