Re: [orca-list] #781772 is starting to really bug me...

I find the focus/browse toggle works pretty well for me. It pretty much 
just works for me, and I have at least one page I visit frequently which 
is very full of controls. It's nice to just toggle to browse mode and 
then use a navigation key to jump right to the table or the next control 
that I'm interested in. It's been a while since I've had to do this, but 
in the past, before we had this toggle, I had to tab past a bunch of the 
controls until I got to one where the navigation keys wouldn't end up in 
an edit field or a drop down list.
