Re: [orca-list] form field structural navigation

["Mohammed Al-shar'" <mohammed atexplorer com>]

hi listers,

just another vote for the f key and shift plus f to move between form 
fields. anything that would make the transition of people like myself to 
linux easier is warmly welcome. I already see alot of instances where such 
"good" imitation is present, and I thank you for this.

regards,
Mohammed Al-shar'
