Re: [orca-list] special characters

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi:

In your ~/.orca/orca-customizations.py (create one if you don't have 
one) file, you might try something like:

import orca.chnames
orca.chnames.chnames[u'\u2013'] = "short dash"

I tried this by making "a" map to "monkey" (I have a fascination with 
monkeys), and it seemed to work for me.

Hope this helps!
