[orca-list] Keybindings for ARIA landmark roles

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hey All:

I need your input.

Right now, we have two unbound functions in Orca to jump to the previous 
and next ARIA landmark.  The main purpose of a landmark is to help 
identify portions of a web page that are of some typical interest to a 
user.  For example, the "search" area, the "navigation" area, the "main 
content" area, etc., can all be landmarks.  See 
htp://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/#landmark for more info.

To avoid cluttering the keymap, we've not bound these two functions to 
key combinations in Orca.  I've received a few requests, however, to 
provide default keybindings for them.

An example use of landmarks is at http://wiki.codetalks.org.  If you 
want to try them out:

1) Give the Firefox window focus
2) Press Ctrl+Orca+Space to bring up the Firefox-specific preferences 
for Orca
3) Go to the Keybindings Tab and define bindings for the next and 
previous landmark functions.

The 'l' and 'Shift+l' bindings are taken for navigating between list 
items, but 'm' and 'Shift+m' seem to be free.  I'm curious about your 
thoughts on using these keybindings for navigating between landmarks. 
'm' would take you to the next landmark in a page and 'Shift+m' would 
take you to the previous landmark.
