Re: [orca-list] Orca and Pidgin

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I use Pidgin with Orca. To change the status, I tab over to the status
selector. I press the space bar and arrow down to the status I want. I
then press the enter key to activate that status. I'm then placed in a
text field where I can edit my status message.

I'm running Orca 3.1.9-xdesktop on Ubuntu 11.04 with Pidgin 2.7.11.
