Re: [orca-list] Temporarily turning caret-browsing off?

Hey Mario.

F7 is the Firefox caret. You probably don't want to toggle that off. And
if you do, the dialog is not something I have any control over.

Instead, it sounds like what you do want to do is toggle focus mode on
with Orca + A (Orca + A twice quickly to make focus mode sticky).
