Dear elite C language developers of LIght GDM login manager. It is possible to login and switch across The various desktop environments. You have even allowed Orca screen reader users to login to needed desktop environment according to The users preferences. What do you think about adding hot key to activate The menu with various desktop environments choice? Now Orca screen reader user need to use Orca build in flat review feature to activate this menu. At-spi return only object name offer but it is not possible to focus to those offers by using cursor focus based navigation keys. How complex would be to add hot key to activate The menu which contain The names of desktops environment to be chosen from.

Proposed hot key combination is left ALT key combined with d letter, desktop environments. Light GDM contain also second menu, which allow to activate some power related functions. Suspend, hybenrate, etc. Ideal solution would be to also add second hot key combination also to this menu. But I know, that it is not easy to recode complex C app source codes. So I would like to plea you to add atleast one hot key to recall menu with desktop environment list. Thank you very very much for your programmer analysis and for your help. With The deepest appreciation and with The kindness regards. Janusz Chmiel
