Re: [orca-list] announcement of page numbers

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

Yes, nice, but as you say the page number when one changes is the missing bit. 
I guess the current output from insert numpad enter is good enough, and that's indeed what I've used 
sometimes to find out where I am, but a pure page 
number hotkey would be nice, could be something to make a orca plug-in for however. 
The page change notification should be in core functionality.
