Hi all,


I've been working on a caret-browsing mode for Okular, both in document 
mode and now in presentation mode. I have submitted a merge request 
(initially back in February), and there seems to be a sticking point in 
having it tested. Are there any users of assistive technology here who 
are able to help out/give a second opinion? It works for me (as a speech 
and braille user), but that's not a wide sample size, obviously!


Apologies if this is breaking protocol or anything like that. As someone 
who used to be a regular KDE user but was forced to abandon it because 
of its lack of accessibility, I'm just really keen to help make it 
usable for the sight-impaired.


Best wishes,


Isabel
