well, some time has passed since my last report about KDE / Plasma <br>
accessibility.<br>
<br>
here i wanna give you a quick overview what happend, whats work starts <br>
aaand whats currently in pipe.<br>
<br>
What happened?<br>
<br>
KDE Default Start menu is now completely accessible: in Plasmas most <br>
current version 5.21, the start menu was completely rewritten. Also with <br>
keyboard only navigation and accessibility in mind. it works quite <br>
awesome here. The two alternatives what come along with an default KDE / <br>
Plasma are completly accessible as well. the alternatives cover just <br>
different layouts like an fullscreen overlay (like gnome shell) and an <br>
more traditional menu (like mate).<br>
<br>
Klipper is accessible: Klipper, the KDE clipboard manager is accessible <br>
now and bound to an shortcut (in next plasma release). this gives you <br>
access to your clipboard history. so you can paste stuff you copied some <br>
time ago. so you can copy "A", paste (or not) it somewhere, copy \
"B", <br> and go back to "A" when needed.<br>
<br>
<br>
Whats in Pipe?<br>
<br>
currently are patches ready for testing to make the tray icons <br>
accessible and keyboard navigate able. you should be able to focus any <br>
entry in your tray area. you can find the patches here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/770" \
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/770</a><br>
<br>
Huge thanks to Carl Swan here, for his nice talk in IRC and its hard <br>
engagement to make a free world more open.<br>
<br>
Whats planned?<br>
<br>
we just started to verify the KCM - KDE Control Modul to make it <br>
completely accessible. this might take some time, but will result in <br>
give you the complete power of your control panel. currently its just <br>
partial accessible. this should be a huge step to have KDE fully accessible.<br>
<br>
<br>
the great thing. not only me. but the whole KDE Community is seriously <br>
interested in having KDE software fully accessible. this is more <br>
important IMO than just have one or two persons working on accessibility <br>
and will warranty, great accessibility in future.<br>
<br>
<br>
they just switched the git infrastructure to gitlab, that gives better <br>
accessibility than the previously used phabricator platform as well.<br>
<br>
<br>
still its not ready for per day usage but, there is a hell lot of very <br>
nice stuff happening. Also if its not done over night, but will result <br>
in some very cool alternative for you all!<br>
<br>
I might try to report more often to the current happenings in future.<br>
<br>
Wanna Help? Are there any bloggers out there? Or interested in write <br>
some text about progress and happenings? It would be cool if we could <br>
highlight those changes more often and detailed to the public to share <br>
the progress. Maybe you wanna contact me.<br>
<br>
cheers chrys<br>
