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

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I withdraw slash as an option then.  No conflicts should be introduced that impede normal use of 
applications. I now vote for a.  Clickables are not links.  I don't think they should be lumped in with them. 
 That would cause confusion if an onclick item has as its event the appearance of a combo box, menu or the 
playing of media but has you stay on the same page.  A link takes you to a new destination either on the same 
page i.e. a same page link or to a new page.  Screenreaders that support them have them bound to their own 
key for quick navigation and announce them as clickables or, at least clickable links and I think they are 
spot on with their approach. I really hope it doesn't wind up getting bound to k.


Thanks.

Hi Alex and all,

I do see a possible conflict here. The slash key brings up the find/search box in Firefox. I happen to use 
that command all the time to find something I'm looking for on the page and it would be annoying if Orca 
intercepted that command looking for a clickable when I was intending to do a search. So we probably should 
find another command for clickables.

Cheers!
