Re: [orca-list] pleasment, please add two new quick navigation keys to The orca

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I don't have an answer. I did check the orca settings for firefox to 
check whether such a key was known by orca but not enabled but didn't 
find one in the list. I don't know whether it is even possible to do 
what is being suggested.

I would suggest the best way of getting this noticed is to create a 
feature request in the gnome bugzilla.
