Just a quick note, maybe someone is interested.
I started cleaning up the Plasma Next Accessibility control center module.
That means that sticky keys and slow keys will hopefully work again in Plasma
Next, as soon as the patch is in, meaning Plasma 5.3.
I still consider the UI of the whole control center module quite confusing and
in bad need of clean up. The functionallity is actually quite nice. I wonder
about the system bell still - using the normal notifications should be enough,
they are crazy flexible anyway, to the point that they allow to run a program
that produces sound on the pc speaker, if someone really wants that.

I also put up a patch for review to add a screen reader check box and "meta-
alt-s" as default shortcut to launch Orca.
I hope that will enable more people to test KDE accessibility.

Cheers,
Frederik

meta-alt ?

alt is used for meta in a lot of layouts.

This is the usual name confusion, it's super/windows/command + alt + s :)

Ok, but then quite a few keyboards don't have a windows key.

In which century? :)
The thing is also configurable.
Do you use a screen reader and have a keyboard without windows key? I have
never heard that this is problematic and it has as far as I know been the
default in Gnome for a few years.

Greetings,
Frederik
