hi I agree with the suggestion for audio tones, but I'd make it configurable, possibly like what nvda does, speak, tones, nothing, or both, something like that. While I'm on the subject of tones, something completely OT here, would it be possible to have beeps on progress bar updates, instead of speech if the user wants? I don't know how you'd handle multiple progress bars, maybe have the first bar in the left, second in the right speaker, the third I'm not sure and that's a different subject so I'll say no more, just thought I'd bring it up.

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. 2014-08-07 12:08 GMT-04:30, Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>:Hey Nolan.

The current situation is that if you have Orca's caret navigation enabled, every time you press a caret navigation key, Orca looks at where you are and makes a decision about whether or not it should do actually do that caret navigation. In other words there are times when Orca is controlling the caret officially but deciding it shouldn't do so at this particular time. If Orca guesses wrong, you can get stuck in widgets. Beyond that, each and every time you press an arrow key and Orca is controlling the caret, it does a bunch of checks to decide whether or not it really should be or not. This is non-performant. What the final solution is should be discussed, but whatever it winds up being, I would suggest in includes setting toggling. The toggling can be done by the user or it could be done automatically by Orca and announced. The one thing that seems to be filled with failure is not toggling it and trying to guess if Orca really should control it. --joanie _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Visit http://live.gnome.org/Orca for more information on Orca.
