Re: JFW keymap like orca keymap?

From: <james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx>


Hi Teddy,
It won't. The text field will keep expanding, or, if it is coded so that
its length attribute won't let you go past a certain point, you will reach
the end of the field, but you won't jump out of it.


But you previously said:


That is correct. If you happen to land on a text field, when you type
letters, it makes you tab out. That is, if it happens to be a single line


So I still don't understand which of the 2 is true.
If I type letters on the field, are those letter typed and the cursor won't go out the field, or the cursor will tab out? 

Thanks.

Octavian



Thanks.

Ok, but how can I write something in the text field if when I type letters
the cursor moves out of the text field?

Hi Teddy,
That is correct. If you happen to land on a text field, when you type
letters, it makes you tab out. That is, if it happens to be a single line
text field. If it's a multiple line text field, it allows you to move up
and down, besides moving right and left. That makes Control+Home and
Control+End available to you. SystemAccess also lets you use the letter e
to jump to edit fields, d for drop downs (which is any kind of list
field),
r for radio buttons, and so on, when focus does not happen to be on a

form

field. I am going purely from memory here, so please forgive me if I am
wrong about how this works.

Thanks.

I don't understand. You said that if I start typing letters or numbers,

it

makes me tab out. This means that you are referring on how it works if

the

focus is in a text field, right?

But this means that you can't type letters and numbers in a text field.

This is the way Jaws works, but the other list member told that in Orca
you

can type the letters and numbers in the text field, without needing to
turn

a forms mode on.

Please explain.

Thanks.

Hi,
If you keep arrowing down, it works just like reading normal text, but

if

you start typing characters such as letters, numbers, and punctuation,

it

makes you tab out. Open your mind. grhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrowl

You shouldn't have to. To put focus in the form field use the arrows
(left and right) + insert or
the tab key... I think it will let you type if you are arrowed over the
box and let you use the arrows to get out...
I'll admit that I don't use orca much perhaps 5% of the time and the

rest

of the time with lynx and brltty.
Since I'm using brltty with no keyboard map just my display keymaps I
thought orca keymaps would be best...

With lynx though if you arrow a form field it will let you type. You

just

arrow off it to keep going down... Well actually you use the reading

keys

of your screenreader (In my set up the keys on my braille display) to

read

the page...
Dunno if orca does this though. I'll test later... Anyone know?


And by the way, if the focus is on the text field and I hit tab, where

is

the

focus put? I hope not on the next link or form field... because I may

want to

Uh...? Well whatever the tab key is mapped to in your browser... Just

use

the arrows...
In lynx (the command line browser) I don't believe tab does much.
