Re: [orca-list] How to open orca preferences window without using orca key...

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
You can run
orca --setup
from the terminal or from a script to bring up screen reader preferences 
window.
The only thing you have to bear in mind is that this functionality has 
been added in 3.14 development cycle and may not be available for older 
versions of orca.

Greetings

Peter
