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

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

No, it hasn't.  I run a small server at work that has an e-learning platform on it and in order to create 
objects you have to click on a plus sign icon which is a clickable graphic.  It shows up just fine for Jaws 
and NVDA but Orca completely ignores it.

hi
hmm, now I'm not sure. Either k or a would work. A makes sense though, since you wouldn't have to add 
clickable support to the links list. I've actually never seen a clickable. Has orca not supported them until 
now?
Thanks
