Re: [orca-list] Another thought on the preferences dialog info gathering

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

One option that comes to mind which has an unclear description is the 
"speak object nemonics" check box. When I first came across this one I 
thought, ok, in menus and such, orca will say x of x. Instead it says 
the keyboard shortcut for the item if there is one, alt+f for file, etc. 
If you want numbers, I think you have to enable the "speak child 
position" check box. I have used orca's reincarnation  of the prefs 
dialogue in gnome 3, ubuntu, fedora, etc. I have no problems like it and 
like teh way it's layed out. This was just one item I thought might need 
to be renamed or clarified. Maybe rename speak object nemonics" WHich is 
kind of developer speak, no offense, to something like, "speak object 
shortcut keys" or " speak item short cut keys". I like the orca key 
bindings dialogue, it's not confusing. It is a bit laggy sometimes, but 
this is probably an at-spi2/collections/whatever issue, not orca.
Just my two cents
Thanks
