[orca-list] Better landmark transitions

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Hey folks,


I don't have the bandwidth for an intense discussion like the keymap 
change, but I wanted to float this idea.


I have the "speak landmarks" setting enabled because, as a web 
developer, it is helpful to know when I transition between them. I also 
tend to use custom ARIA labels in my own apps to make some landmark 
names app-specific.


In VSCode and other places, though, I get lots of "Leaving complementary 
content. Entering complementary content." followed by whatever comes 
next. So for instance:


"Leaving complementary content. Entering complementary content. Terminal1"


That makes the experience feel choppy. FOr now I've disabled the 
setting, but I wonder if we might present this a bit better?


I don't think we want to lose the transition message entirely for 
transitions between identical regions. What about putting it last, 
though, and rewording it? So:


"Terminal2: leaving and entering complementary content."


I don't care how it's worded and won't bikeshed that. I just think it 
makes sense to speak the most relevant text first. If I'm transitioning 
between landmarks, that may be important to me. But if I'm moving 
between two navs or whatever, it seems more relevant to me what item I'm 
on, not that I've moved from one identical content type to another.


Open to other ideas as well.


Thanks.
