Re: [orca-list] Automatic focus mode switching GUI and what to do about radio buttons?

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
As for the edit fields, comboboxes and other definatelly interactive 
controls orca automatically switches to focus mode when tabbing to them. 
I think radio buttons should do the same respecting inspiration from NVDA.
When using quick navigation keys and / or arrow keys in browse mode we 
do already have options whether to switch or not to switch automatically 
to focus mode. I think while encountering radio buttons this way orca 
should respect these settings.

Greetings

Peter
