Re: [orca-list] Replying to a message inGMail standard view with latest Orca

[Francisco Javier Dorado <javier tiflolinux org>]

Hi Burt, all

I notice that gmailing with Orca has improved with latest changes. You 
can interact easily with web apps if you enable sticky focus mode, 
pressing orca + a two times quickly.
You are in the edit message field when Orca speaks wysiwyg and a bunch 
of numbers and letters.
Also You can use tab navigation to arrive to this field. When you are 
type some text and press enter, the first line is not read but when you 
have written a couple of lines using up and down arrow Orca reads.
If you use left/right arrow Orca will speak characters that you have typed.
When you are done press control + enter to send the message or tab to 
the send button.

HTH
Regards,
Javier
