Re: [orca-list] RFC: reporting spread sheet selection changes

[<sonfire11 gmail com>]

Actually, the other screen reader manufacturers include the selected cell
range in the selection change event notification because it requires fewer
keystrokes. I would rather be on A1 and only have to press SHIFT+down arrow
to hear A1 through B1 selected. The way you propose it, someone would have
to press additional shortcut keys, up to two or three more depending on your
expected outcome. I would also rather have the selected text shortcut key
defined by default because it is a normal process to announce selected text
or cell ranges from initial installation forward. As it currently stands,
the announce selected text shortcut is undefined, and a new user might get
confused on why they can't read selected text.

Actually, consistency and doing things right is what I expect. 
Personally, I want a *superior* accessibility experience on Linux. It's for
us to get it *right*, not to fall in line with the wrong way just because
everyone else is doing it wrong. Should we now implement virtual buffers in
the browser just because everyone else is doing it that way, even though
it's very poor practice? Please give us consistency and less verbosity, and
if we need to know more, we have a way of finding this out. It's the way
things have been done for a long time, and it works. 
If it ain't broke, please don't try to fix it. We need what's broke fixed
instead.
