RE: Orca rolenames too long for braille?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi:

If you want to experiment with the current abbreviated rolenames for
braille, you can add the following line to your ~/.orca/user-settings.py
file:

brailleRolenameStyle=0

Hope this helps, and like Mike, I'm interested in hearing the
community's preferences here.

Thanks!

Will
