Re: [orca-list] Google chrome and orca

Hi,

What version of Python are you building Orca with? In the past, I found that it makes a huge difference. Try using at least Python 3.7. 3.8 might improve performance slightly, but I haven't had a chance to test yet.

OK, after a long! compile I do have access to chrome.  Thanks
everyone for all the hard work!! One thing is that I am unable to set
a key binding for toggling layout mode.  It says modified and its
unchecked, but pressing the space bar does nothing.  In firefox, I
don't even see the possibility for toggling layout mode.  Am I doing
something wrong, or is this a bug or what?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
