Re: [orca-list] A question about using Linux with orca and braille only

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu gmail com>]

It depends on shat machine I am using.  If I have a standard keyboard 
available I tend to use that tather than the braille keyboard.  Probably 
because that is what I got used to with displays that did not have 
keyboards and I can type faster than I can braille so my hands are more 
often on my keyboard or at least one hand is.
