Subject: Accessibility: caret tracking in emacs with gnome shell magnifier
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 10:34:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <39e22d6d-8226-e668-7a76-b540bdf15afc@u-cergy.fr> (raw)
Hello,
Due to a visual impairment I constantly work with a screen magnifier
turned on (in full screen mode), and I need it to track the caret to
follow what I am typing.
So far I am using emacs 26.1 on cygwin on windows 10, and the windows 10
magnifier does the job of tracking the caret.
I am considering switching to gnome on linux and therefore installed the
fedora (version 29) distribution to try it out. The gnome (3.30) shell
magnifier supports caret tracking and it works in other applications but
not emacs (26.1).
I previously sent this message to the gnome accessibility list (that was
a long time ago in 2015, so with earlier versions of emacs and gnome)
and got a reply from Alex Arnaud (cc) stating:
> I've tried to test Emacs with Accercicer (a accessibility debug tool)
and my conclusion are Emacs doesn't connect it to AT-SPI (accessibility
stack).
He also suggested that I write to this list, which I'm (finally!) doing.
I hope it is appropriate to report this here.
Best regards,
Eric
