Hello,
do you find your arrow keys only circling over maybe 2 or 3 links,
then looping? This is happening on almost every website now.
Also, what tar ball format, xz or zip?
thanks,

I read
my email messages in Thunderbird by first changing my Orca
settings to automatically read new messages to me. You can do this
by going into the Thunderbird specific settings for Orca by
hitting Orca+control+space while in Thunderbird. Control+tab over
to the Thunderbird tab and check the box that says automatically
start reading a page when it's first loaded.
I use the preview pane, and just use F6 to jump over there. The
'f' key will take you to your next message, the 'n' key will take
you to your next unread message, the delete key will delete a
message and the 'b' key will take you back a message, but you need
to pass that through Orca first with the Orca+backspace key.
I use Orca+; (That's Orca and the semi-colon key.) to read from
the current position to the end of the document or page.

Hello,
Some really newbie questions:
1. How do I make Orca say a word rather than spelling it when
incountering a string like "test1"?
2. How can I keep Orca from saying "capital o" or "backspace o"
when pressing shift or backspace?
3. What is the best way to navigate through thunderbird? In
windows I just press enter on my messages and it reads all super
fast, but here it seems to lag a lot when I do that. Hitting f6
works, but does not do a "read all" function when I jump into
the message pane. How can I most quickly read my messages?
4. Where is spell-check in Thunderbird located?
5. How do I save in Gedit? When I press ctrl+s Orca says
"capital s" and jumps me into the save window. I type in a
document name like "test1" then hit enter. Nothing happens. I
then type: "test1.txt" and hit enter. The only thing that seemed
to work is "/test1" and now I can't find it in my home dir.
6. How do I see the username of my computer? When trying to log
into the console I'm asked for my user name, but I don't
remember it...
7. I'm using the elaquence synth and when arrowing through
letters I often hear lowd pops. Is there any way to keep this
from happening?
8. Is there any way to hear the function name rather than the
keys when I do something like ctrl s or ctrl r in an app? I know
what I'm pressing, but don't always know what function I'm
calling.
9. I can't seem to find a "read all" function, what is the key
command for read all?
10. Is there any way to add or remove folders in the bookmark
menu in firefox without going into the bookmarks manager? I
tried going into the bookmarks manager, adding a folder and
looking at the folder in the menu, but even though the folder
was named in the manager, it still showed "unnamed" in the
bookmarks menu.
Thank you,
Brandon Keith Biggs
