Re: [orca-list] orca and clickable links

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Yes that works and for the example I was thinking of it makes the 
website work in a fairly usable way (once you realise what parts can be 
clicked) where as other screen readers the website is almost point the 
mouse and hope. However I notice something which may want some attention 
(unsure whether it is really a bug or an enhancement as its something 
which doesn't work as naturally as I would expect but isn't necessarily 
"wrong" in the way orca has been planned to work up to now).

Anyway what is the problem, I would expect that using the cursor routing 
keys on my Braille display should perform a mouse click at the point 
where the cursor routing key relates. When I try this orca only 
positions the caret there (unless it is a link). Under my idea of how 
cursor routing keys work, if nothing should happen normally on a click 
the cursor should be routed there (may be orca still passes firefox a 
mouse click and firefox does the cursor routing).
