Re: [orca-list] slack probably inaccessible, maybe something happened in firefox 57?

Thanks a lot -- unfortunately my packages list does not have
emacs-slack, it just has slack which is a different package.  I could
copy the .el files to my site-lisp directory, I suppose.

I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't clear previously. Actually, you can
install emacs-slack through the Emacs package manager (although
you can also clone the repository to a folder that you've placed
in the Emacs load path). I've pointed out to the Github page just
for documentation purposes.

In addition, if you are a more advanced Emacs user, you can
utilize use-package package to install emacs-slack (and other
packages) automatically at Emacs startup. You can have a look at
my Emacs settings if you preffer in order to have an idea about
that: https://github.com/alan-ghelardi/.emacs.d.

OK, so Icloned emacs-slack, so how do I install the thing?  All I see
is a bunch of .el files and the readme file which says nothing about
installing or how to start it.

As far as I know no. Uploading files is very straightforward but
it seems that there is no how to download then. Generally when
someone uploads a file I press return over it and my default
browser is open in the page where I can download the
file. Perhaps this is a limitation of Slack's Web API and not of
the package itself.

Also, any way to download a file using this package -- I see something
to upload the file, but how about downloading?

This package is just a client that interacts with Slack's Web API
via an https connection. Notice that you should create an app
associated to your account in order to obtain a client id, a
secret key and a token to authorize the connection.

My team requires an ssl connection, will the package you talked about
from github do that?

Not sure if I understood your question. Please, could you elaborate?

I looked at emacs-slack, but I need to connect via ssl -- with this
package do that?

Have a look at: https://github.com/yuya373/emacs-slack. The
Github page has everything that you need to get started.

hmmm, I tried installing slack melpa package, but could not find any
documentation or any way how to use it.  Is the emacs-slack different
from this one?

Some friends are complaining about the accessibility of Firefox 57 on Windows systems. maybe 
there were accessibility regressions that affected some applications on Linux as well, although 
I haven't tested yet and can't confirm this.
However the better way that I've found to use Slack on a computer was through a Emacs package 
called emacs-slack. It provides an excelent access to the majority of Slack features without 
accessibility problems.

Obviously if you aren't an Emacs user there is no sense on using it just for getting access to 
Slack, but if you are, I strongly recommend having a look at it. My company uses Slack heavily 
and this package has saved my life since I was
having lots of problems to interact with Slack with Firefox. By the way, the iPhone app also 
works relatively well.

      Hello.

Slack seems to be inaccessible on new firefox, before it was far better.
You need access to any kind of slack channel.
When you join it, your focus goes to the message field, when you switch
to browse mode you should be able to navigate around, and previously it
was possible, but not it reacts... weird, and actually doesn't really work.
