I just want to get a tiny screen reading utility which could allow
using Firefox, Skype or something else without GNOME and Orca, wich looks
to me rather big and heavy. Coming events describe the changes really
well but I am not sure when a particular change is describe
completely. For example, if I get text-caret-move it may mean the cursor
position change or may be a part of the text content change (which evidently implies the cursor
position change as well). What it is depends on the events which will
come next. If we get after that the text-change event, well, it is the text changing
and we should announce that as a text changing. Meantime, if we
get nothing after that, we should announce just the cursor move.
The question is how I can be sure that nothing will come after a
particular event? The announcement to the user depends on the _*entire*_
set of events but currently I don't know any way to be clearly sure what
kind of user action I should announce.
Thank you! :))
