Re: [orca-list] Electron apps worked on POP!_OS, how to get same in Arch

[Jordan Verner <jordan caturria ca>]

I solved the problem.

For posterity, the environment variable QT_ACCESSIBILITY must be set in 
order for Chromium to render with accessibility enabled.

Create /etc/profile.d/accessibility.sh (or another file name of your 
choosing) and include the following line:

export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1

Save the file and reboot.
