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

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes!
LIke that, don't want a noisy screenreader, but for this case a sound icon alert, what ever you want to call 
it makes a

Ideally one could choose to toggle this on or off assuming one would still have it announced in verbos mode 
of orca as 
some might not want the double advisery.
