Re: [orca-list] Application Specific Settings: Proposal to make them more functional across the system

[Brandon Tyson <brandongold98 gmail com>]

Hi,

I have to use application specific settings to change Orca's behavior
on the web, as these settings aren't exposed in the regular
preferences.
A similar case is when I want to change settings for the spellchecker.
I suppose maybe approach 2 would be a better choice.

Thanks,

Brandon
