Re: [orca-list] State OF Orca/Kubuntu?

[Chrys <chrys linux-a11y org>]

Howdy Jace,

Well if you really refer to kubuntu, the Ubuntu KDE spin, i have to say KDE Plasma has still a long road to 
walk to be accessible. You do currently better using mate or gnome.

Special the main menu is not accessible in its current state (as it doesn’t send focus change events, the fix 
is not so trivial currently as the mainmenu doesn’t has an focus handling but simulates the focus only with 
an transparent highlighted  area) I will post on the list when i completed my work on plasmas main menu. This 
would not make KDE a gamechanger for accessibility yet but it starts be initial useful.

Fun fact, KDE Plasma owns 2 alternative main menus what are already initial  accessible. Sadly the way how 
you can change the main menu isn't accessible as well...

Cheers chrys
