[Bug 773078] Re: StickyKeys a11y feature has no notification system
Seems like a valid unity feature request (or new indicator but let's keep it on unity it's closer than the other sources it could be opened on). The gnome-shell ui has the same issue it seems: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647711 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #647711 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647711 ** Package changed: indicator-application (Ubuntu) = unity (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Also affects: unity Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: unity Status: New = Confirmed ** Summary changed: - StickyKeys a11y feature has no notification system + Should display the StickyKeys status in some way (a11y) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773078 Title: Should display the StickyKeys status in some way (a11y) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/773078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 773078] Re: StickyKeys a11y feature has no notification system
From a related bug report's comments [1] I gather the solution would be to code a new application indicator. There are tutorials on how to code an indicator using Python. Since I speak Python that's something I would be capable of doing. Could someone from Canonical confirm this is the right way to solve this issue? I don't want to code something just to have it labeled doesn't fit our concept/doesn't apply anymore. There is also work in integration such an indicator; the accessibility preferences should have a checkbox 'show key stats' or something like that. The latter would have to be done by someone else; porting a panel to an indicator is one thing, but starting an indicator and setting it to launch with Unity and such would require knowledge of Unity workings and related technologies I don't have.

[Bug 773078] Re: StickyKeys a11y feature has no notification system
I am an LTS user, intending to migrate from Lucid to Precise next year. In that regard, this bug is a regression to me. Given that Mark Shuttleworth stated First-class accessibility for those with special interaction needs [1] as a goal for Precise, it is my personal opinion that fixing this bug would get Ubuntu closer to the above mentioned goal. When a modifier key is locked and there is no indication of it, it is not only annoying to try out modifiers in an attempt to unlock the locked key, but it is potentially harmful, e.g. when accidentally locking the alt key without noticing, pressing 'q' doesn't type that letter anymore but quits the application. As I see it there are two solutions: either add an indication as it was with Gnome 2, or add the option to the sticky key preferences to not have keys lock. (Perfect would be both). For the above stated reason I'd be grateful if someone with permission could nominate this bug for the Precise release to ensure it doesn't get overlooked as it happened with the last release (Oneric, not an LTS version).

This is probably something to do with the indicator whitelist used in Natty. Finding out the name of the indicator used would help in determining if this is the cause. ** Changed in: indicator-application (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773078 Title: StickyKeys a11y feature has no notification system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/773078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
