Re: [orca-list] Your opinion regarding caret control in Gecko

[Luis González <luisg123v gmail com>]

I just was writing the same, leave a "little chekbox" on the Orca's
firefox settings tab.

Another advantage of disabling this feature is it would make possible
things like using "H" to go to the next header, even if you're into a
tex box or similar.
