Konsole progress/any good alternatives?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

That's where I got up to with the discussion on the issue, setting the 
role. I'm not sure if that's done in a recent git commit with 
Konsole-git however, or even where I'd start looking for the right parts 
to even start on this one.


I'm seeing on my end, both Konsole 22.08 and Konsole-git read my entered 
commands, like I said but not the output. Where would I read up on what 
exactly the terminal role does as far as ATK and how it interacts with Orca.

Also, are the input and output areas of Konsole using different settings 
as far as AT/Orca goes? I'm just trying to figure out why Orca reads 
one, but not the other even with the incorrect role
