-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi all I'm wanting to start using gnome on wayland a lot more, so I can flush out and fix any accessibility related issues. I have a couple of questions though, and this seemed the right place to ask them. They're mostly related to accessibility. In any graphical file manager, they make their icons accessible by adding an image description to the icon that orca reads. This enables orca to read, for example, test.txt plain text document. So the image description is the mime type. I've seen mimetypes such as, application/x-msword, for word documents. xcontent/audioPlayer for audio players. Are those mime types tied into xorg or does the "x" just represent an extension to the freedesktop mime standard? I was hoping that when orca sees my audio player in the computer it could say "sansa clip audioPlayer" instead of as it does now, "sansa clip unknown". I'm completely ignorant of how all these standards operate underneath the hood so if I'm way off the mark, I apologize. I do know that when using wayland, gnome shell doesn't draw the desktop, so no desktop icons. This is being worked on though so it's not a huge deal. My next question is about keyboard shortcuts. If we're transitioning to a new display server, would it be possible to have universal keyboard shortcuts? That is, you could set up your keyboard shortcuts in gnome, and if you switched over to mate, those keyboard shortcuts would continue to work? I don't think this is possible in xorg because of how xorg works, but in wayland, you could set it up so that when mate connects, it is able to see that keyboard shortcuts have been set, and map the desktop specific parts, such as closing, moving, minimizing windows, etc to it's own internal methods for doing so. This is probably not a huge priority since the hard task will be getting graphics drivers to work properly but just thought I'd ask Thanks for reading Kendell clark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVqEF+AAoJEGYgJ5/kqBTdPcEQAJZEy9hwZ9+Yo2mbt8l4fzgY chBAozteadrn8rhn6UcFNWQAm8KpyuHY4h/bPuZ0p3wPt3v342+IV5uSYc2HYiiw Ojdd8fColwIFOF7K7uLbOzz/uU31oFXOCeCY/EeMEmXbmQOCraphjr2vHPjC1GKl IpEzGkFlRSyfOagPPKSdcMgXQFqVAeMigBCH2Sx0X5tCgINEWeWSHP719SYnqA1J uAf7BYfqx/yLrwTj6X9NH/hLYTQS/CZRFevjdCt2UhmFuip2Y1T/xFbR3Nm14JqP 60DYRVTzeUX9N84Wq+aEsbWBAazjdz3oaXTBKv3YruxUo2Ibiy5vshb8ug3pzkbN HlKu4Ahth5bn9QKtMNtRsGnXNpszYB16RCP/2rtcj1hklUkTxzXYeEBn442c550w 9LsLk+Q3J2QwI3975kiD2C7wr3TvycaMnmEstWLeT+CmPohuTFuNJ42SjhU38Dtk dBM8WeRk0ojvTKlFxHaWwr2y/I3el1DvR0jrCYEKgCcGZiIbt11vujvI3yBbtdpt cLLXToywFj+ta6MEFKnrblpm+y/T4WF6/shOycX5jRU7YRm6nVBrMjIC9OzOHl+e 2izg/qD1VjuiqWN6DavXpMzT3Z/0+8FU1UI2yDwrSn9VV0pHg+dsPw0HcqoQlG9W jP/KcFttm5oD7KHJWjsg =rLQL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
