Re: [orca-list] making gnome applications work better with orca



F7 turns on caret mode in Thunderbird and Firefox. I've seen this key used in other applications as well. You might want to check the Edit or View pulldown.

If you want to turn on Orca's caret mode, I would just do this by using Orca's application preferences (Orca+control+space) and setting it in the applications tab. I'm not sure if a hot key has been defined to toggle this in Orca or not.

Turn on caret mode in orca and see if those scroll panes start getting accessible.  If caret mode is already 
on, the identity of the application may well be needed along with the problem scroll panes since orca may 
need some work.

Hello,



I am running a debian wheezy installation with orca 3.4.2-2 on it.



I have run into an application which is "almost" accessible.  Many of the controls are accessible, however, 
there are various scrollpanes which orca cannot read at all.



Is there anyway to help orca to read these scrollpanes?

For example an orca settings file for the application?



Any tips would be appreciated, even to the extent that I should go in and alter the source fo the offending 
application.
