Re: [orca-list] (RFC) speaking position in XUL menus

[Hammer Attila <hammera pickup hu>]

Hy,

Trev, possible this is subjective, but for example I like known how many 
menu item have a main menu, and what the actual position if I not known 
an application or using a new application for first time. Or, if I 
opened a main menu with a new application, easy to see how many main 
menu have the menu bar when I moning the menu bar without need pressing 
any extra command.
I no, where am I spokening this, but if this is possible automatic way, 
this is better I think if the speak child position checkbox is checked, 
similar with another objects (combo boxes, radio buttons, etc).
When I doed position index spokening feature (I think before Orca 2.28 
release), I put the positioninList with menu related objects in 
src/orca/formatting.py file, and Willie  is accepted this before 
committed the final implementation.
Joanie, what your openion: need removing position index spokening for 
menu objects? For beginner users I think this possibility is useful for 
example if not known yet detailed Orca commands, because known for 
example the GNOME applications menu how many menu items hawe the 
applications menu, and what the actual position in the menu with an 
automatic way.
