Hello. As I've recently written on debian-accessibility, I'm working around an inaccessible feature of the Compiz window manager. The feature is window switching: the selected window title is shown, nicely rendered in OpenGL, but the text is not available to the accessibility bus in any way. In fact Compiz is not directly linked to ATK or even GTK, and adding such huge dependencies is controversial.
For the time being I feel I'm justified in doing something quick&dirty (you must be imagining the perverse grin of pleasure on my face). There is a precise moment at window switch time when the title should be presented: at that time I will call spd-say (via system) to vocalize the title using speech-dispatcher. That's easy. Now, is there a corresponding command-line utility to display a line of text on the Braille terminal as well? I guess such a direct solution would be widely considered unorthodox and ugly, but I'd be surprised if nobody ever thought of it before me. I guess it's harder than just cat'ting a string to the Braille terminal device file; if not, how do I find the device, querying brltty?
