[orca-list] a feature suggestion for braille in Orca

[Scott Berry <sberry northlc com>]

Hello everyone,

I have a few suggestions for some features I would like to see in Orca.

1.  Firstly and most importantly I would like to see braille available
upon opening the preferences for each application. The reason for this
is Grade 2 support.  For instance, I don't like Grade 2 in
gnome-terminal (my own opinion) but I like Grade 2 in my e-mail and I
wouldlike Grade 2 in gedit.  Now another suggestion to go allong with
this is to have braille uncontracted at the current word.  this way if
you have say for instance a command you can read the command in Grade 1.
It would be good to have Grade 2 as a option you can set on the fly. So
in otherwords, a keystroke could be assigned in the Orca key bindings
for this.

2.  I would like to see some more navigational keys inOrca.  I see there
is tables, headings, list. But it would be nice to have the following:

e and Shift E:  edit boxes

C and Shift C:  combo boxes

B and Shift B:  buttons


R and Shift R:  radio buttons
I think that would make navigating a page a whole lot smoother at least
for me and I think others as well.

3.  In festival I notice that some words are pronounced incorrectly, I
will try to start a dictionary and get Festival's speech more precise.
So I'll use the pronunciation editor inOrca.  Would it be feasible once
i start doing this to submit the pronunciation dictionary to subversion
and have it added innewer releases of Orca?
