Re: [orca-list] Orca now has preliminary support for object mode / non-layout mode. Yes. Really.

Hi Joanie, all
Many thanks for the hard work.

No, in the same line would be great :)

a link,
b link

 * What should happen when you use structural navigation to move to a 
list item which consists of a number and a link? Technically the link is 
separate, but you also didn't down arrow; you pressed i. Etc., etc., 
etc. But I figure that you can just try it with your favorite sites and 
we can all discuss here what behaviors you'd like to see changed. The 
other thing it needs, I assume, are a GUI means to set it and perhaps a 
keyboard command to toggle it. Because of the various freezes GNOME is 
in, I cannot add those to the gnome-3-14 branch without blessing from 
the localization team -- and in the case of a GUI option I also need the 
release team to approve it.
 Note that this is not a temporary situation: The configuration and 
command cannot go into GNOME 3.14 ever unless I get permission. I can of 
course add them to master and will. But first: 1. Do we need both a GUI 
option and a command to toggle it, or just one or the other? 2. If we 
need a command to toggle it, any suggestions for the bindings? Orca+L 
for Layout or Orca+O for object would be great -- and are available in 
Desktop Layout. But then Laptop Layout would need a different command. 
Suggestions very much welcome.
GUI and command would be great, a single command to switch between both 
modes should be enough.
But I think that this feature might be pending to complete for 3.16 
meanly question of time, next week I think is time for proposal for 
features in 3.16?
Any way, We are used to live in the bleeding edge :)

Take care,
Regards,
Javier
