Plans to implement GTK accessibility API

[pawelurbanski]

Are there any plans to implement GTK's accessibility API, namely AT-SPI/ATK as of GNOME3 and/or the upcoming new accessibility APIs coming in GNOME 40/GTK 4? It would allow to use Emacs with Orca screen reader and create a fantastic work environment for screen reader users. There are currently Emacspeak and speechd-el packages, but making Emacs working well with Orca could be a very welcoem thing. Here are the thing to consider from the usability standpoints:

• Assign proper roles to widgets so that Orca can get the widget tree,
• Keep proper names of widgets - the shortter the better, but Emacs is quite good in taht respect already,
• Expose widget state information such as checked, selected, disabled, enabled,
• Buffers should allow for accessing character offsets information, which again in case of Emacs is at its core,

Just a few words for a good start...

No plan because this fork is just a port of X-build.
