Re: [orca-list] Your opinion on automatically toggling structural navigation keys

[Fernando Botelho <Fernando Botelho F123 org>]

I think it is an excellent idea.  My only suggestion is that, assuming 
verbosity is on, Orca should not just say it is turning off structural 
navigation, it should also say: Press Orca Z to turn it back on.
