Re: [orca-list] Should Orca ignore your punctuation settings when the only thing on the line is punctuation?



hi,
I personally believe that this should be made in to a configurable
setting via the orca preferences, then people would be able to choose
how they would like there cake.
is this possible?

I may be wrong, but at least for me the orca's current behavior is correct.

In the editors that I use to edit programming code I turn the
punctuation to all because I need to hear all the punctuation in the code.

Hey all.

What should Orca do when you up/down arrow to a line which consists
only of punctuation, or of punctuation with whitespace?

a. Respect your punctuation setting, even if that means Orca might stay
   silent when you arrow to that line, OR
b. Ignore your punctuation setting, because Orca should say something,
   and if we just give the symbol to the speech synthesizer as-is, the
   speech synthesizer might not say it.

Right now Orca is doing option a, assuming that it should always
respect your setting because you know best about your preferences, and
you can always use left/right or flat review the characters.

But periodically I find it weird that there is silence when one arrows
to a line that consists only of punctuation, or of punctuation and
whitespace. So I'm wondering if b would be a better option.

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks!
