Re: [orca-list] braille does not work with "tty = 7" in settings.py in arch

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey all.

Don't mess with user-settings.conf. It is not meant to be edited. This
sort of thing is what orca-customziations.py is for. You'll find that
file in the same location as user-settings.conf. The equivalent, and
safer, way to accomplish what Peter stated below is to put the following
in your orca-customizations.py file:

import orca.settings
orca.settings.tty = 1

--joanie
