Re: [orca-list] beeps on progress bar updates, thoughts?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

There was a conversation about this back when I first joined this list as I recall. 
I for one, and I know a few others proposed rather detailed ideas about possible implementations including 
how to handle multiple progress bars beeping 
at the same time. 
In general it's a good idea, and a basic working system could be fine tuned and augmented later of course. 
I did use this in NVVDA, OK, will be using it when ever I boot in to that OS which is very rare, and I know 
it's a pretty popular option. I'dnot asign a 
default keybinding to switch on the fly, just make it an option in orca prefs, and if there is a potential 
keybinding, leave it unassigned by default. I 
don't care much if a binding is asigned either, but have no opinion as to what would be a good binding.
