Hello,
One more question:
Sometimes in an app like firefox or the help, Orca will stop
responding to the up and down arrows.
How do I refresh orca so that it will work again? It works if I
hit tab or alt tab, but changing the focus doesn't work and
neither does loading a new page.
thanks,

Hello,
Some really newbie questions:
1. How do I make Orca say a word rather than spelling it when
incountering a string like "test1"?
2. How can I keep Orca from saying "capital o" or "backspace o"
when pressing shift or backspace?
3. What is the best way to navigate through thunderbird? In
windows I just press enter on my messages and it reads all super
fast, but here it seems to lag a lot when I do that. Hitting f6
works, but does not do a "read all" function when I jump into
the message pane. How can I most quickly read my messages?
4. Where is spell-check in Thunderbird located?
5. How do I save in Gedit? When I press ctrl+s Orca says
"capital s" and jumps me into the save window. I type in a
document name like "test1" then hit enter. Nothing happens. I
then type: "test1.txt" and hit enter. The only thing that seemed
to work is "/test1" and now I can't find it in my home dir.
6. How do I see the username of my computer? When trying to log
into the console I'm asked for my user name, but I don't
remember it...
7. I'm using the elaquence synth and when arrowing through
letters I often hear lowd pops. Is there any way to keep this
from happening?
8. Is there any way to hear the function name rather than the
keys when I do something like ctrl s or ctrl r in an app? I know
what I'm pressing, but don't always know what function I'm
calling.
9. I can't seem to find a "read all" function, what is the key
command for read all?
10. Is there any way to add or remove folders in the bookmark
menu in firefox without going into the bookmarks manager? I
tried going into the bookmarks manager, adding a folder and
looking at the folder in the menu, but even though the folder
was named in the manager, it still showed "unnamed" in the
bookmarks menu.
Thank you,

Hello,
I read on here that Audacity is accessible. I'm wondering how to use
the preferences window? I need to change some key bindings in order
to make it work on my laptop. When I hit ctrl+p the window comes up,
but I can't tab or shift tab or arrow. I try to use the review
cursor, but that doesn't seem to see the list of preference tabs.
How do I navigate through this preference window?
Thanks,
