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

Hey Attila.

> Not need marking a mnemonic letter both two options?

I thought about it before I committed the change. I don't think having a
mnemonic for the sake of having one is a good idea. Mnemonics are
supposed to be memorable and for often-used widgets. There are not that
many items currently on that page and I don't see these checkboxes as
frequently being changed. I think instead users will pick what works the
best for them and use Orca + A when that isn't quite right for a
particular situation. Beyond that, there's the potential for accidental
key conflicts during translation. So I think that it is preferable to
have mnemonics only when they are truly beneficial. As a result, I
committed the change without mnemonics.

And, yeah, I know: In the past we went mnemonic crazy. The reason I
haven't undone some of that is that a bunch of translators will then
have to do a bunch of work and when that fails, Orca users will have
untranslated widgets.
