Re: [orca-list] Reworked presentation of native word navigation

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hello Joanie,

I have just pulled the master and tested the changes. It works really 
great, although I'll probably never understand why does Linux treat 
punctuation as words, but when it already does so, reading it is the 
correct behavior imo.


Thanks for this change. There is just one thing I would like to add. If 
there are two lines, and the secondone begins with a word, when 
navigating by words, blank line is spoken first on that place when 
crossing from the first line and just after that, the word is announced.

Could be possibly something done about this? When I'm reading a text by 
words, it slows down the reading, as I either have to listen to the 
whole phrase, or pass it and return from another side to hear the word.


Thanks!


Best regards


Rastislav
