<p>
- Write me
+ When interacting with web pages and other documents using <app>Orca</app>,
+ you are interacting with the document itself; not a buffered copy of that
+ document. Thus there is no special mode to get into or out of when you
+ wish to fill out a form. Instead, simply navigate to each field whose
+ contents you wish to change, and interact with the widget as if it were in
+ a dialog box.
</p>
+ <section>
+ <title>Navigating Amongst Form Fields</title>
+ <p>
+ To navigate amongst form fields, you have several options:
+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Use <key>Tab</key> and <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>,
+ to navigate amongst focusable objects, regardless of type.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Use <app>Orca</app>'s <link xref="commands_structural_navigation#forms">
+ structural navigation commands for forms</link>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Depending on the form, you may also be able to use <app>Orca</app>'s
+ caret navigation commands, in other words, the arrow keys when
+ <app>Orca</app> is controlling the caret.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <title>Exiting Form Fields</title>
+ <p>
+ Because there is no special mode in <app>Orca</app> for interacting with
+ forms, the most frequently-asked question is how to exit a focused form
+ field. For this, too, you have several options:
+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Use <key>Tab</key>/<keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>
+ if you wish to leave the currenty-focused form field and move to the
+ next/previous focusable object, regardless of what that object happens
+ to be.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Use <app>Orca</app>'s <link xref="commands_structural_navigation#forms">
+ structural navigation</link> to move to the next/previous form field:
+ <keyseq><key>Orca Modifier</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>/<keyseq>
+ <key>Orca Modifier</key><key>Shift</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Use <app>Orca</app>'s commands for moving to the next/previous object
+ or chunk of text: <keyseq><key>Orca Modifier</key><key>Right</key>
+ </keyseq>/<keyseq><key>Orca Modifier</key><key>Left</key></keyseq>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ If you are not in a list or combo box, you can use caret navigation
+ commands to arrow out of the form field, as long as <app>Orca</app>
+ is controlling the caret.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
