GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 545342
Can no longer shift+click using Orca
Last modified: 2009-03-10 00:05:25 UTC
Awhile back we changed Orca to consider all modifiers and their states when determining if a given set of keystrokes was a match for an Orca command or not (see bug # 494196). By insisting that each keybinding is a specific set of keys -- and only those keys -- we avoid accidentally taking over commands we didn't mean to as well as having ambiguous bindings which might result from the addition of new commands/bindings down the road. Turns out it breaks Shift+clicking though as reported by Steve on the Orca list.
Created attachment 115508 [details] [review] revision 1 This patch causes us to "not care" about the presence of other modifiers (and thus restores the ability to shift+click). Functionally tested (both desktop and laptop) and pylinted. Need to regression test it to be sure, but this should be safe. Please test.
We discussed this at today's (okay, technically yesterday's) team meeting. The consensus was to check it into trunk. Done. Moving to pending.
