Description Marc Mulcahy 2001-10-25 20:47:04 UTC 
Assistive technologies such as screen readers need to provide feedback 
when the selection changes.  Libzvt should provide a selection change 
notification.

Comment 2 jacob berkman 2001-10-31 17:59:40 UTC 
so the accessibility stuff would be setting
ZvtTerm->_vtx->selection_changed themselves?
or how would this be used?
Comment 3 Marc Mulcahy 2001-10-31 18:37:15 UTC 
Basically, the current accessibility implementation I've developed 
for libzvt lives in a separate library.  It generates ATK signals to 
notify any listeners that the selection has changed.  This external 
library would assign term->_vx->selection_changed to its own private 
callback for emitting the appropriate ATK signals.  The other 
approach would be to add a signal to the ZvtTerm widget which is 
fired when the selection changes.

Should this go into 1.4.x too?
Comment 5 Marc Mulcahy 2002-01-15 19:02:51 UTC 
No, the accessibility architecture isn't available under GNOME 1.4.
