Re: [orca-list] Turning off screens with Orca

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Not only will it continue to work, you'll find you will enhance your
battery life. So, it's to your advantage to learn how to control this.

Hint: On many laptops you can turn the LCD off via some kind of keyboard
command. Check your laptop's documentation. Note that it's likely to be
documented as powering an externally connected screen, which is the same
thing if no external screen is connected.
