[orca-list] Orca now indicates selection and text attributes in braille



Hi all.

Orca should now indicate selected text as well as attributes in braille. Here's what you need to know:

* You can specify your selection indicator and your attribute indicator. The choices for each are: None, Dot 7, Dot 8, and Dots 7 and 8.

* The selection indicator defaults to Dots 7 and 8. You can change this on the Braille pane of the Orca Preferences dialog.

* The attribute indicator defaults to None. You can change this on the Text Attributes pane of the Orca Preferences dialog.

* For each attribute on the Text Attributes pane, you will find two checkboxes: The first determines whether or not that attribute will be spoken when you press Orca_Modifier+F, the second determines whether or not text with that attribute will be "underlined" on your braille display. Initially the enabled brailled attributes will be populated with the same basic attributes that are initially enabled for speech.

* The selection and attribute indicators can be "combined". For instance, if you choose an attribute indicator of Dot 7 and a selection indicator of Dot 8 (or vice versa), selecting text that is formatted with an attribute you are interested in will cause that text to be "underlined" with both Dot 7 and Dot 8.

We hope you find these new features useful and look forward to your feedback.

Thanks!
The Orca Team
