Gnopernicus
Hi
I have been using Linux for some years now, but only on servers.
I have low vision so I need to use a magnifier to be able to use my
computer.
I use Linux server at home and at work but I have to access them using
ssh and putty on Windows because I have a very good screen magnifier
software for Windows.
I have read about Gnopernicus and it will hopefully give me the
opportunity to move to Linux as a Desktop OS :)
But I have some questions though:
- How does the magnifier work? Do I get a magnified window or does the
magnified window move with the mouse and keyboard?
What I mean is it a fixed magnified window or does the magnified windows
move with the focus of the mouse and keyboard?
- Do I need two monitors and two video cards to be able to use
fullscreen magnifier?
- I have read that Gnopernicus also offer a lot of key mappings which is
good because I love the keyboard :)
I could find a key mapping to increase and decrease the level of
magnification.
For instance on the magnifer I now use 12x magnifing but I can adjust
that easily with some keyboard shortcuts.
- I also use high contrast (white on black), also called invert colors.
I found a mapping on layer 6 called invert on/off.
Does this key mapping switch between regular GNOME colors and high
contrast (white on black)?
