Re: [orca-list] Revamped explanation of problems relating to lack of speech accessability

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

I think galpine exists which is designed to run in graphical mode not in 
terminal or console.  I have no idea how compatible orca will be with it 
since most all email discussions are hostage to thunderbird and 
evolution.  Aside from that, alpine may have a setting for cursor in its 
settings that may help.  I don't know that any of orca's karet modes 
will even work in terminal mode.  If none of that can or will work, the 
g.u.i. has its limitations and you may well have just met one of them.  
There's always command line if you can get a system specifically 
installed for it and keep that system free of g.u.i. contamination.  
It's all in how much of a learning curve you're prepared to take on and 
how soon.
