hotkeys for universal access
Last modified: 2011-02-18 13:53:59 UTC
We hope to have hotkeys for common universal access functionality especially when it relates to difficulty seeing the display. The universal access panel currently mentions having ones for: * zoom * text size * contrast * screen reader on/off If we won't be able to add those for 3.0 we should remove the references from the panel.
Listed in system settings Change Contrast: control-alt-0 Increase Text Size: Shift-Control-Alt-= [ this one is probably wrong - should be shift-control-alt-+ ; + isn't always over = ] Decrease Text Size: Shift-Control-Alt-- Turn on/off zoom - Ctrl-Alt-8 Zoom in - Control-Alt-= [ Same comment as above ] Zoom out - Control-Alt-- Screen reader - Turn on/off Control-Alt-4
Yeah I just pulled those out of my ass when I did the .ui file. I think in the shell design doc I wanted to use the windows/logo key as modifier for these as well but sadly we can't really rely on it.

If we can agree on what those should do, I can implement them in gnome-settings-daemon's media-keys plugin, as I did for screen reader and magnifier (basically, read a gsettings key, and set it to a new value). > * screen reader on/off already has a shortcut in gnome-settings-daemon. > If we won't be able to add those for 3.0 we should remove the references from > the panel.
High Contrast can be changed like so: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/js/ui/status/accessibility.js#n163 Increasing/decreasing text size is in: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/tree/panels/universal-access/cc-ua-panel.c#n430 Will add those to the gnome-settings-daemon media-keys plugin, and then add the keys to gnome-control-center's .xml file. See bug 531596 for whether to have default values, and what they should be. And bug 642582 about showing the actually configured shortcuts in the UA panel.
