Re: [orca-list] Firefox 3 find and alt tags

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

I think you can also turn off the "tab browsing" feature, so that newly 
opened links either refresh the current window, or start a whole new window. 
This might be easier to deal with at present, since Firefox/orca doesn't 
always clearly tell you when your in the tab list and sometimes its hard to 
know if your navigating page content or a 
toolbar/sideBar/otherWindowFurnature.  Jaws also seems to have issues with 
this, especially clearly indicating non-page content in the same window.

If I may suggest something, perhaps another keystroke could be used to move 
between panels or sections of the current window. I think its far too easy 
to get lost when tabbing around if the tab/shift+tab keys move you outside 
the live page area. Perhaps control+pageUp and control+pageDown should move 
between tabs, and control+tab and control+shift+tab should move you among 
panels in the current window? Or, since control+tab and controlshift+tab are 
already assigned to next/previous tab, assign control+pageUp/Down to move 
among the panels in the current window?

What do people think of this?

Slightly OT, but you can try Links. If you compile it from the source,
you can decide whether Java support is activated. If yu are a braille
user, there's a terminal option that supports braille displays, so
that you can move the cursor over the display without boundaries.
Special navigation keys don't exist.
