Re: [orca-list] Orca with Firefox

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Speaking strictly for myself, I hate forms mode. I won't go on with that
thought.

I do understand the need to quickly distinguish when one is, or is not,
on a form field. Might we perhaps pitch the speech differently? Add a
marker in the braille? Some set of strategies of the like?

Windows screen readers have a forms mode feature where you can toggle between keys being passed through to the browser, or used as navigation features for the screen reader. I'm wondering if this is a better/worse idea than what is currently done in Orca and am interested in thoughts on this. (Apologies if this has already been discussed, as I am having trouble navigating the list archive pages with my screen reader.)
