Re: [orca-list] virtual buffers?



Virtual buffers aren't needed for navigating a website as orca shows, it all just works (try cursoring, using h and shift+h for headers, t and shift+t for tables, etc). The only thing to be careful of is make sure your keystroke won't act on the focused control (eg. if you press h in a text box you will find a h appears in the text box rather than you move to the next heading, just move out of the text box for h to go to next heading). One big advantage is that you will always have the latest page, no need for a virtual buffer to be refreshed as the page changes.

Read the documentation for full details of what can be done to navigate in firefox.

Hi,
If there are no virtual buffers in orca, then how do you read on a wbsite like news stories and jump by headings and things?

my blog is at http://jkenn337.klangoblog.net (updated frequently). Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at www.cherrypal.com to use windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer.
