Re: [orca-list] orca shortcut keys

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I'd hit the tab key until you aren't in an edit field. there may be a 
better way to do this though. I'm out the door now, but hitting escape 
or Orca+z might also get you out of edit mode.

NVDA doesn't make you hit enter when in an edit field, and JAWS had a 
mode to automatically put you in edit mode without having to hit the 
enter key. I think it's just a different way of doing things, and for 
the most part, I prefer it. Of course, it does mean getting to know your 
screen reader and how it interacts with your browser, just as you do 
with JAWS.
