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

Hi Krishnakant:

The extended where am I feature of Orca (e.g, KP_Enter pressed twice 
quickly for the desktop layout) should give you a lot of this information.

For now, we still keep it at a "pay the performance penalty only if you 
ask for it" level because it can take some time to gather the information.

As Joanie mentioned, however, we are thinking about some ways to gather 
and maintain this information so things will be much more performant. 
That will not be done in the GNOME 2.26 timeframe, though.

PS - for the 2.26 stuff, you can always view the ChangeLog in SVN as 
well as the NEWS files.  We also try to be diligent about marking the 
bugs in Bugzilla database, but it doesn't always reflect all the work. 
Here's a URL that should do a search for things that will be in Orca 
v2.26.0:
