Konsole progress/any good alternatives?

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?
