List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:233601 Archived-At: 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
