Re: Re: Some issue in ScitE for Linux with Orca screen reader

Gigi:

main API accessibility is at-spi, actually is at version 2.50 about.


Scintilla uses at-spi through ATK which is a wrapper around at-spi from the 
GTK project.

https://docs.gtk.org/atk/index.html

Scintilla provides the Text and EditableText interfaces of ATK but that 
includes only a limited set of features. For example, there are 6 'signals' 
that Scintilla can send to notify listeners like screen readers that 
something has occurred in Scintilla and they are very broad - there's no 
way of differentiating between "cut" and "delete", for example.

text-attributes-changed
text-caret-moved
text-changed (deprecated in favour of text-insert and text-remove)
text-insert
text-remove
text-selection-changed

https://docs.gtk.org/atk/iface.Text.html
https://docs.gtk.org/atk/iface.EditableText.html

at-spi may provide features that are not made available through ATK and it 
might be possible to access these features.
