making an accessible version of Nushell

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hey there,

hmm, this sounds definitely interesting!


I wanted to make something similar myself, as the current state is
quite... problematic.

Like yes, we can read the output of terminal with Orca's flat review,
but that's like all about it.

When it comes to structures, like tables, reading them is really a pain.

There are the functions to navigate to the word above and below, that's
handy, but it takes quite a lot of time to move (few seconds) and when
the display is refreshing, the flat review cursor gets lost completely
after some time.


My Orca version is still 3.39.1 pre, may be I should try to update to
master to see if something has been done about this, I think I saw some
discussion about reworking the flat review if I remember correctly.


Best regards


Rastislav

> Nushell (https://www.nushell.sh) is a re-imagined shell for Linux (etc) systems.  There are a number of things to like about it, IMHO.  First, it attempts to handle program output as structured data.  This means that, for example, tabular output can be filtered, sorted, etc.  It is also being written in Rust, which should help to prevent a large class of security issues.

Happily, some work has already been done on this, mostly to support an online demo.
