New in GNOME 48 is the necessary support for keyboard handling by the Orca screen reader in Wayland sessions. As I reported on the Orca mailing list recently, I have updated my system, and this support is so far working as intended. You need Mutter 48 and the latest AT-SPI installed.
Thanks are owed to the software developers responsible for this work.

in reply to Jason J.G. White • •Within Gnome 48 we do have reworked keyboard input handling.
Now we need mouse emulation
and in the future we'd like to have touch screen gestures and related screen reader features.
The interaction between gnome developers and screen reader users is one direction only.
New features are being added, some bugs which we can tolerate are introduced along the way and we do need to wait at least some 6 months until these are addressed at a platform level in an upcoming release.
