GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 705929
Needed shortcut for toggle screen reader
Last modified: 2014-01-28 14:58:48 UTC
Right now there isn't a default shortcut for toggling screen reader, something that was always desired. For example, one of the commong things of all the custom accessibility related distros was define a default shortcut for that. Right now is event more important as the accessibility icon is not always available at the top panel (although in any case, without screen reader, a screen reader user had a bad time searching for it). I talked with Jakub during GUADEC and he didn't have any problem on adding one.
Created attachment 251541 [details] [review] Super+Alt+s shortcut activates/deactivates screen reader Taking into account that the magnifier is already using the form "Super+Alt+<something>" for activating, zooming-in, zooming-out, "Super+Alt+s" seems the straightforward one for the Screen reader.
Review of attachment 251541 [details] [review]: looks fine
Was missing a prefix to the commit subject, and an explanation why this shortcut was chosen in the commit message.
Reopening, as I've reverted the commit. Super+S is already taken: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720994
Bastien, I'm a bit confused. On my F20 system, Super+S puts me in the overview and Super+Alt+S puts me in the screen reader.

The rationale (not explained on the commit, sorry for that) is because Super+Alt+<something> was already used on the magnifier: > Taking into account that the magnifier is already using the form > "Super+Alt+<something>" for activating, zooming-in, zooming-out, "Super+Alt+s" > seems the straightforward one for the Screen reader.
