Re: [orca-list] How do I change the orca keybindings to be exactly like Jaws?

[Todor Fassl <fassl tod gmail com>]

You guys are all so tactful. But it might be worthwhile to say things a 
little more clearly.

Isaac, it is considered a little impolite to ask questions on a list 
that you could  answer yourself by googling.  Also, you shouldn't ask 
more than one or two questions a day. Finally, you shouldn't say you 
want your answer as soon as possible unless it really is some kind of 
emergency.  This is true especially if you are going to ask several 
questions at a time. All of these things are considered to be a little 
impolite on email lists.

The list is here for you to get help but you should be careful to use 
the resource wisely.  In fact, you'd be doing  yourself a favor by 
always checking google before asking for help on an email list. You will 
find more complete answers and find them faster by using google. And 
it's an important skill to develop if you are going to work with 
computers as part of your job.  I used to have a boss who made it a 
point to check a person's googling skills before hiring them. It's a 
valuable skill to have.
