Caribou for Linux 0.4.1

Caribou is a text entry and UI navigation application being developed as an alternative to the Gnome On-screen Keyboard. The overarching goal for Caribou is to create a usable solution for people whose primary way of accessing a computer is a switch device. <br /><br />Future Development Tasks:<br /><br /> * support for single switch access methods<br /> o create highlighter module for reuse by other accessibility apps<br /> o add 'alpha numeric sorted alphabetically' and 'alpha numeric sorted by frequency' keyboards<br /> o investigation of how to work with accessibility input switches that emulate the mouse ie Tash Switch Click USB<br /> + see http://www.mail-archive.com/gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org/msg04206.html <br /> o support languages that don't use the Roman alphabet<br /> o keyboard fully usable with 1 switch Autoscan<br /> o listed as essential priority on page 31 of the Switch Access Guide published by the ACE Centre<br /> o keyboard fully usable with 1 switch Userscan<br /> + listed as high priority on page 31 of the Switch Access Guide published by the ACE Centre <br /> o UI for setting up switch<br /> + this could be a mouse button, key on the keyboard or an official switch device <br /> * in-line UI scanning<br /> o there might be problems scanning applications that don't test for accessibility - scanning order might be not be optimal or some functionality might not be exposed correctly <br /> * option to use Nomon or Nomon like interface for text entry<br /> * option to use Dasher or Dasher like interface for text entry<br /> * support for 2 switch access methods<br /> * option to gather metrics to a file and maybe to a remote server<br /> * a mode that is always visible<br /> o this mode should emulate a regular keyboard (including function keys and standard keyboard layout)<br /> o use a standard gtk window so the the user can move the window around
