Re: [orca-list] Navigating with orca

As others have said, in most cases you can just use the Enter and/or
space bar for the equivalent of a left click and the context menu
button for right click.

That said, for websites that use JavaScript clickables with no
keyboard functions(very bad web design) or have text that's meant to
be clicked, but appears to be normal text to Orca, here are a few
tips:

Alt+shift+A will bring up a list of all JavaScript Clickables on the
current page. Tabbing will cycle between the list itself, a cancel
button, a Jump to button, and an activate button. Simple arrow to the
one you want, tab to activate, and press enter.

Also, the following keypresses emulate mouse functions:
Orca+num row 7: left click.
Orca+num row 8: right click.
Orca+numrow 9: Put the mouse cursor under the reading cursor. I find
that I usuually have to do this before a virtual left-click to ensure
the click registers where I want it to.

The Orca key is generally set to insert in desktop mode or caps lock
in laptop mode... also, I'm not sure if the mouse emulation changes
with Desktop/Laptop mode toggling.

Also, here are some of Orca's navigational hotkeys(alt+shift+any of
the following will bring up a list, shift+ any of the following moves
backwards):
H: HTML Headings.
Num row 1-6: HTML headings at specific levels.
S: Separators
t: tables
l: lists
i: list items
K: Links
u: unvisited links
v: visited linkes
q: block quotes.
a: JavaScript Clickables
x: check boxes
r: radio buttons
c: comboboxes
b: buttons
e: text entry fields.
g: graphics.

Also, Orca+A will toggle browse and focus modes... many of the above
elements can be interacted with without switching to focus mode after
jumpint to them with the hotkey, but comboboxes and entries need to be
focused if you don't want to jump away because a key press was
interpreted as another hotkey instead of input to the form element...
Also, I'd recommend expanding combo boxes after focusing them as many
web pageswill auto load a new page or change the current page with
incremental changes to a collapsed combo box.
