[orca-list] I have small suggestion that can make a big

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Your comment about spread sheets seems a bit odd, one would expect that
cursor keys should go to the cell in that direction, you would want to
enter an edit mode for editing (why else are you wanting to move the
cursor inside a cell). Personally I would find it extremely clumbsy to
have to cursor through cell contents to cursor around a spreadsheet.

Your comment about saying "copy to clipboard" would need some
consideration, as it isn't always the case, ie. in gnome-terminal ctrl-c
would terminate (at least send the kill signal) to the app running
inside the terminal. I also find "copy to clipboard" and "pasted text
from clipboard" or even "pasted from clipboard" a bit much, should we
consider taking ideas from else where, and use audio signals/tones.
Ideally all this verbosity should be configurable.
