Get Rid of inSync

Question

I am working on developing a WordPress theme, and I am planning to develop it with Bootstrap. For this theme, there will be the option of having a three column (left sidebar, content, right sidebar) layout, (or even just a left sidebar then content would work for this question).

Anyway, I am blind, so am acutely aware of how annoying it would be to have to move through a sidebar on the left of the content with lots of widgets, just to get to the content itself, when a sighted user can just look down on the content. So my question: How can you make the screen reader (maybe the dom?) see the left sidebar as coming after the content, yet still have it be directly to the left of the content with Bootstrap?

I thought of a possible way, namely making two blank divs in columns 1 and 3 with the content between them, then going to a new row and doing columns 1 and 3 with a blank div between them, but this just seems really hackish.

Any thoughts?

Solution 1

The version of the software has changed (as of August 2013), so the answer from ubuntu_tr above may need to be tweaked. To remove the latest non-beta version of insync type

sudo apt-get purge insync && sudo apt-get autoremove

and type 'Y' to confirm. Then to delete the remaining insync folder type

sudo rmdir /usr/lib/insync --ignore-fail-on-non-empty

Then go to Ubuntu Software Centre, move the mouse near the top of your screen to view menu options and click on Edit->Software sources... select the Other software tab and then scroll down, select apt.insynchq.com/ubuntu and click the Remove button.

Solution 2

sudo apt-get purge insync-beta-ubuntu && sudo apt-get autoremove

This command will remove it. You should also remove ppa entry from the "software sources > Other Software" section

Solution 3

I know this is an old question, but I just wanted to add an up-to-date answer.

According to the official uninstall instructions on How to uninstall Insync:

Debian/Ubuntu

1. Run sudo apt-get remove insync.
2. Delete the application data folder at ~/.config/Insync.

Fedora

1. Run sudo yum remove insync.
2. Delete the application data folder at ~/.config/Insync.

Solution 4

InSync adds a startup item to Gnome. You can run gnome-sessions-properties from command line to remove or disable it.

Have you tried sudo apt-get remove insync? (or what the package name of insync now is.)

Can you explain why you're using a form here, and how the other pieces fit together -- I don't see how this would make the left sidebar appear to screen readers after the content, but I am new at this.

Thanks a ton for the answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.
