What does caret mode do differently from the usual mode?  Is there
documentation explaining it?  Thanks!

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.

may well be needed along with the problem scroll panes since orca may need
some work.
