Re: [orca-list] Quick key for clickables?

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

Agreed, even thought I seldom use the slash in FX.
I am very much against conflicting with and or over riding a program's native keystrokes, especially a 
program where these 
cn't be changed. 
This is my objection to someof the otherwise very powerful and for some very useful jaws scriptsm and a 
couple of the NVDA 
plug-ins as well. 
Always leave a program to work as much as possible how it is designed to work, and access as much of the 
information 
presentedon-screen is the starting point for any screenreader, or should be unless there's no practical way 
to interact 
this way.
