Re: [orca-list] Keybindings for ARIA landmark roles



yes it has the reference in accessibility guidelines as well.
I just got a bit confused.
well, I think it will be a good idea to have some key combination or
hotkey for this feature, most websites dont implement landmarks often
though.

happy hacking.

Hi Krishnakant:

The content provider provides the landmarks as part of the markup.  What 
the Orca feature does is allow the users to navigate between them quickly.

Hi wil,
So you mean the user will set the landmarks as per the need and
preference and then orca should move to those landmarks is it?

Is this not what bookmarks feature does?

or is that orca will decide on some logical decision?
happy hacking.

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.
