FWIW Alt+A works for installing addons as well however. So double
F6, or Alt+A
What exactly is double F6 doing? It does work, but I am trying to understand why to be able to use this command with other applications. I have to alt tab back to Firefox after install, does it always jump you out of the current window when doing this? What other applications is this command used for and is there a sign I can use to know when to use it? Example: is this usually used for alerts or pop ups? “ Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.” ~ Helen KellerOn Apr 24, 2021, at 11:56 AM, Jeffery Mewtamer via orca-list <orca-list gnome org> wrote: It might be standard, but that doesn't change the fact the Firefox Notification bar used to be accessible among the tabbable items above the top of the page or below the bottom, that there was no indication of how to get to it when they made the change, or the fact this change is still tripping up people who don't know about F6 years after the change was made... and as far as I know, this is the only time one needs this trick with Firefox, and considering that Firefox is the only thing stopping me from uninstalling Orca and what remains of my stripped down Xserver, it sticks out as a very poorly thought out change on the part of Firefox's UI devs... And hey, even if other applications make better use of multiple panels, part of me says good Keyboard UI design should dictate tabbing past the last item in a panel should take you to the next panel or shift-tabbing past the first item in a panel takes you to the previous panel, and if Firefox really is standard and tabbing generally loops within the same panel, I have to wonder how many blind users less comfortable with the command-line either disregard certain graphical applications as inaccessible or are ignorant of many of their features because they don't know about the F6 to switch panels trick. _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
