GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 426242
no accessibility support for input method
Last modified: 2018-02-10 04:34:02 UTC
There are no way to know through a11y libraries what characters are input during preediting. this interferes to correct the words at the preedit line.
Do you have a proposal for required api additions ?
Yes. I'm thinking about a11y support at IM much more. it's an rough idea though, it would be a good idea to have APIs for dealing with: - turning on/off IM - peeking into preedit line - moving the selection at the candidate window - conversion and commit Which is commonly used for the process on IM, and is relevant to the keybinding stuff because it's quite difficult to see which keys works for something without seeing the configuration at IMs and it prevents to work on a11y.
For turning on/off, see bug 346780
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue for it.
