Re: MATE Terminal Emulator Accessibility: it won't let users scroll upwards to review

What do you mean, Jonesy? I am supposed to run orca with the command like this:

orca "" -u

Is that what you are trying to say?

I wish people wouldn't speak unclearly, it's far to common that, especially developers, speak in a shorthand which assumes people already know the answers, so they write in some shorthand only known to the knowledgeable, not the general public who might just be good at following clear instructions.

Is this referring to using orca plus “” and”u”? I’m using this and it does navigate up and down in mate terminal using Ubuntu.

Oh and to answer your question for why I want contracted braille in Console when I am a Graphical user. Its because the MATE Terminal Emulator is not always as accessible as I need it to be. So if I need to install something, or just reading slint-doc, it often won't let me scroll upwards to read whatever it just spoke, or to see how a file name is spelled for refference etc.

MATE Terminal is ok, so long as I don't need finite navigation. But if I want to navigate through lists etc, it doesn't always work. So then I need to open up the Console.

Unless there is a way to make MATE Terminal Emulator more accessible, but I don't think there is.

Again thank you so much, I really appreciate the help and I've finally got contracted braille in Console now.

I'm irritated by this behavior of MATE Terminal Emulator also but I only have low vision not blindness using a sensory (dot making) Braille interface.
