Re: [orca-list] Thoughts on the new table cell/row reading options?

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

I think haviing the three table settings would be very useful. That beiing said if toggling the active table 
would be all need in the way of extra 
keybiindings.
I think we need to be careful to not have so many possible settings that most users could not be expected to 
keep track of them, and or spend a lot of 
time trying to decide if soomething is needed just because it is there. That last sounds foolish, but I think 
many people would actually spend time 
trying to figure out potential use cases rather than waiting for one to come around. Again this is foolish, 
but I am foolish that way sometimes, and 
un-necesary complexity does turn many people off.
I think so far Orca has done a great job keeping a balance between flexability and simplicity. Screenreaders 
are complex tools that must work for a wide 
range of user/use-cases, and I am certainly not one to say because I, or "most people", do not use something 
it should not be included, but if there is 
an easy enough way to do something adding more alternatives is often not justifiable in my book.
Thanks.
