Re: [orca-list] Tips and tricks for Orca and Firefox

Ah, I wish I could be rid of that site, but I have close friends who 
seem to only communicate on Facebook. They've become Faceborgs...

The layout mode and object mode, I don't remember the original key 
binding because I've changed mine, changes the way the up and down 
arrows read the screen. The object mode navigates between each object, 
and the layout mode will read a line as it is laid out on the screen. 
Object mode can help if there are a line of links or buttons across the 
screen. Pressing the down arrow will move from button or link or object 
to the next thing, so you can read the stuff in the middle of the line 
without having to listen to the whole line and remember what was there.
