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

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I found 
https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/preferences_gecko.html.en 
without too much trouble. You might find more if you look  a bit harder 
than I did.

BTW, I did find that Orca+f12 will toggle between Orca's caret mode and 
Gecko's.

Caret mode puts a cursor in applications that don't usually have a 
cursor, such as Firefox. This allows the user to move around the web 
page with the keyboard instead of just the mouse.
