Re: [orca-list] Getting Orca Past the Configuration

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie diggs gmail com>]

If you get into the Orca Preferences dialog, on the General pane you 
will find a checkbox called "Show Orca main window".  Uncheck it and 
that window won't appear when you start Orca.  To get into the 
Preferences dialog in the future (i.e. now that your main window is 
gone) you can always press Orca_Modifier+Space.

Hope this helps!
