Re: [orca-list] A question about using Linux with orca and braille only



It depends on shat machine I am using. If I have a standard keyboard available I tend to use that tather than the braille keyboard. Probably because that is what I got used to with displays that did not have keyboards and I can type faster than I can braille so my hands are more often on my keyboard or at least one hand is.

Hello there,

 

When you use braille, do you navigate with the keyboard, or directly from the braille display, if you have a 
Perkins style keyboard?

If so, how do you assign the braille keys to do what you want? As far as I saw, orca’s key bindings prefs 
don’t have that much related to braille, just some panning
stuff that It’s already assigned.

And I believe gui text fields are able to be written in, if you enable xbrlapi, I’m not sure.

Thanks for any answer.

Best regards.

Francisco.

I use braille primarily but I still find places on some web pages and

applications where it is useful to have speech on.  There are places where

speech will give you information that just doesn't seem to show on the

braille display.  THis happens especially in some alert boxes where they

lock you onto the buttons and do not let you get to the actual text of the

box.  I have found some that don't even let you do it with flat review.

 

Unfortunately when this happens I am always in the middle of something and

by the time I get done I forget to writ a bug report.
