Re: [orca-list] punctuation level keystroke I set doesn't seem to work

Hi, Joanie.



1.  I read your message, the one just below.


2.  I used orca-space to get into settings, then right-arrowed to speech 
settings, then tabbed to punctuation = most.  I hit escape and got out 
of there.


3.  I pressed control-shift-p.  When I do that, as I did just this 
second, it says "p punctuation set to all."


4.  I reread a bit of your message. It did not read the comma in "Having 
said that, ..." It read no other punctuation, either.


5.  I hit orca-space again and went to the punctuation setting. It still 
said punctuation = most.


Note:  I've bound a couple of other keys, but have only tested 
control-shift-pageup and control-shift-pagedown, which are to increase 
and decrease the speech rate.  They work as they should.


I hope this helps, but tell me if you need more testing.
