Re: [orca-list] Continual reading problem

[Vojtech šmiro <vsmiro seznam cz>]

Hello,

one idea I have is to make a new setting in Orca preferences for example 
Checkbox ignore enter key in text. So if someone will want read for 
example list what to buy, he can uncheck it. When someone will want to 
read book, he will check it.

Thanks a lot and take care.

Best regards

Vojta.
