Re: [orca-list] Insert Mode Toggle

Would this feature include any possability of speaking a selected
object or portion of an object like the row and column in a status
line from a command such as a hotkey or active key like the tab key?
I'm thinking of the row and column in text editors and when one
presses the tab key or dedicated hotkey speak the current cursor
position.

Yeah, you can use the read-status line feature but then you have to
hear the entire line as opposed to just row/column or insert toggle
status.  I was just thinking there might be an opportunity for me to
begin sinking my teeth into Orca development a bit.

We have an RFE open for "watched objects":

Orca will notify the user of changes to that object.

There may be something you can use now, however.  Orca's Where Am I  
functionality also allows you to get the information in the status bar  
via a keystroke.  In the desktop layout mode, this is done by pressing  
Orca+KP_Enter twice.

Hi Steve:

There are some things we might consider here:

1) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536827 - Provide   
configuration GUI option to set the Orca key/modifier.  This would 
allow  you to more easily redefine the Orca key to something else.  
Right now,  you can change the Orca modifier key, but it requires 
hand editing your  ~/.orca/user-settings.py or 
~/.orca/orca-customizations.py files.

2) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373387 - Users should be 
 able to lock/unlock the "Lock" modifier even if Caps Lock is the 
Orca  modifier.  While this bug talks about the Caps Lock key, the 
solution  proposed is that a double tap of the key will let the key 
pass through.

After further testing, I conclude that the insert cannot be used nor
bypassed with Orca's bypass key.  The bypass key passes through for
other keys but not the insert key <bummer>.  I vaguely recall
something about this now that it comes back to me.  But I did find
another way to turn insert mode on and off though more awkward.  I can
use the flat review keys to find the "Insert" on the status line and
then use the numpad-slash key or left click to toggle the word.
Recycling flat review mode will expose the new word.  It toggles
between Insrt and Over.  I did this in Writer; haven't tried this in
gedit but am willing to bet this might be the same.

I've been noticing that in the general purpose text editor, gedit and
with Open Office Writer that the insert key doesn't seem to toggle
insert mode for the application.  Is that because the insert key
serves as the "Orca" modifier key?  If that be the case, how can we
toggle insert mode on and off in such applications as I mentioned
above?  I know for a fact that the word "INS" on the status lines of
these applications never changes when I press the insert key and when
typing, I never get into over-write mode.

I'm using the desktop standard layout with the latest git pull of Orca
from this past weekend.

Thanks for any tips here.
