Re: [orca-list] What should Orca say when multiple icons become selected at once?

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

The focused icon should always be spoken, so that we know where we are. 
However, we do also need an idea of at least whether one or more icons 
are selected, or if we have selected one and moved off the selection, 
e.g. with control+arrows. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what type of 
utterance would convey that much information without being overly 
verbose. Perhaps this should remain a function of WhereAmI. So the 
focused icon should be spoken if selected, and nothing else, because 
selected is implied. However, focusing an icon that remains unselected, 
e.g. with control+arrows, should speak the focused icon followed by 
"unselected" or "not selected." WhereAmI should speak what it normally 
does, such as "5 items selected, on 3 of 12" or similar. This seems the 
best compromise between communicating important information and verbosity.
