Accessibility on the diffrent desktop enoviremtns
Hi,
I've been installing most desktop enovirements in Debian 12.6 today, not
at the same time, but a clean install on each.
I did only scratch the top, so what i had focus on was:
Login screen, if i had to enter username and password or not. On GNOME
and KDE i did not need to enter the username, but i did need to enter it
on XFCE, CINNAMON, MATE, LXDE, LXTQ.
And this is not much related to accessibility, but just a nice feature
or not.
But what i did encounter is the both KDE and LXQT login screen Orca was
not able to read the login window - first when i got by the login
screen, Orca did speech.
Main menu (F1 + alt) or just (super key) where i did meet many diffrent
difficulties in most: GNOME, CINNAMON, LXQT - In some it was the whole
menu, others it could be a search box etc. - But i also wonder why not
all just use the super key to launch the main menu?
Speech in terminal, i did also test if Orca worked in the terminal, and
encounted that it did not work in XFCE, KDE and LXQT
Then i did try the system monitor and experienced difficulties or not
working in all desktop enovirements.
And the last thing i did test was the key combination of CTRL + ALT +
DEL, to see if the shutdown window would appear, and experienced it not
to work in Cinnamon, LXDE and in LXQT it did open the audio settings i
belive - and also, in one, i belive was LXDE i did not have the option
to shutdown or reboot the computer, but just to swtich user or log out.
I wish, and hope that there are Debian developers that would look into
these issues, so we can make Debian more accessible, i really enjoy the
Debian distro for all the current accessibility functionalities :-D
Best kinds regards
Kenneth
