Re: [orca-list] I wound up rewriting Mouse Review

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi

I'll try using control+f1 when navigating around the desktop, since 
that's what I wanted the tooltips for. I know orca presents them for 
buttons and the like if it can't get a proper name. I'll write back in 
with my results.

Thanks
