Hello,
I've got low vision as well and don't like the blinking cursor either. I'm
using gnome-terminal most of the time and find the big, blinking cursor
quite nice. Maybe a non-blinking cursor might catch less attention,
especially when you're in some kind of ncurses UI, maybe even one with

Disabled it via /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf. What a relief! Thank you very
much for sorting this out with me.
So to conclude this:
Orca needs xkbcomp, which doesn't work under Wayland at all, as well as
xmodmap etc. But GNOME now uses Waylan
Hello,
After disabling Wayland, this one is resolved as well! Although I can't
tell why.

Hello,
I just tried compiling the latest upstream version of Orca from git master

What I noticed is this warning when Orca starts:

Hi Samuel,
First, I have to say that I switched keycodes 66 and 118 by editing
/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev and switched the Orca modifier to
