Re: [orca-list] Feature request: multiple text attribute profiles

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I think Joanie is referring to the profiles support already built into 
Orca. You can get to them on the general page in your Orca settings. 
They're in the Profiles panel. I'm not sure, but there's probably 
already a profile changing function you could bind to an Orca key 
combination as well.
