Re: Orca question



Hello,

David is right about lynx working in more blind-friendly way in Debian than in Slint since Debian comes with lynx.cfg preconfigured differently from Slint version.

In Slint it is necessary to turn cursor on and tune up few more settings to make it better with Speakup for instance.

I believe Didier mentioned in one of his email that Slint respects lynx's developer configuration or so and it should be up to a user to make any needed changes.

Best,

Pawel

Hi David,

currently we ship lynx-2.9.0dev.4 in Slint, but I hardly understand why
lynx itself would behave differently between Debian (which version?) and
Slint on this regard, but maybe if your config file makes a difference.

Anyway we need more information to investigate.

Please attach your config file to your next message and tell with which
console screen reader you observe this behavior: espeakup, speechd-up,
fenrir?

Also, please provide a link to a web page on which this issue appears,
and post to or at least CC the Slint mailing list so we know if other
Slint users encounter the same issue.

Cheers,
Didier

You are correct, Lynx does work better when used from the command line, but in Slint, when using a screen reader, Lynx is not very usable. The Tab and Up/Down cursor keys are suppose to read only the link but instead the link and a lot of other information is spoken by the screen reader making it extremely difficult to determine where you are and what is being spoken. David Ring did send me a revised config file which I appreciated. I
currently use Lynx and Debian on an older netbook and it is very easy to
configure and use. Is it possible that Slint could reconfigure Lynx to
work in a similar fashion?
