Re: [orca-list] Pre-testing of Orca with Chromium/Chrome

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

I wonder if what was intended by this question was: will it eventually 
be possible to select text without the extra caret command line option?


Curious about this as well. Can the existing accessibility support be 
fleshed out to support text selection sans native caret mode? Or, like 
with the accessibility renderer, will caret support eventually be 
automatically toggled on when it is needed?


No hurries, just curious. My experience under 77 is already pretty nice, 
except for a few dialogs which the wiki points out aren't expected to 
work in earlier versions anyway. Still though, I've waited years to use 
some of the many highly-maligned Electron apps being published, so I can 
be patient. :)
