Re: [orca-list] revisiting the issue of unbound keybindings

["Alex H." <linuxx64 bashsh gmail com>]

Hi,

Lots of good points in this thread.

I agree with Storm about Firefox, we should attach keys to the Firefox
quick nav keys for checkboxes/edits/forms etc. People migrating from
other screen access programs can start browsing the web without having
to customize their keystrokes. With that said, it's easy enough to
change a keystroke if a user doesn't like it.

About having keys bound to everything including magnification, that's
a lot of keystrokes. I think if this were to be done, toggling the
magnifyer should be a really purposeful keystroke, like orca-shift-f4,
or something really deliberate that won't get in the way of other
keystrokes until the user changes/disables them.
I personally remove gnome-mag and any dependencies that sneak in so I
can't comment on other functions to bind to keys in magnification.

changing punctuation level on the fly would be awesome. There's times
where I'll be in gnome-terminal and want to hear all the slashes and
dashes, but other times I'll be reading an article and want no
punctuation.
