Re: [orca-list] Announcement of newline when navigating by word (was Re:, Reworked presentation of native word navigation

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hi there,

I'd rather suggest that Orca would add the option to not ignore blank 
lines (when navigating by lines), which better represents for example 
layout of a webpage.

In fact, I've originally thought, that the option Speak blank lines is 
for this purpose, but it's probably not, as I have it enabled and don't 
see blank lines anyway (in browser, I do see them in text editors).


I personally don't perform proofreading by words but rather by lines, as 
the sentence correctness can be checked in this way and typos are 
usually handled by machines anyway. That's why it makes sense for me.


Or, you can still use Grammarly. :D Just kidding.


Best regards


Rastislav
