The hud would be useful if it were accessible which it is not, and is not 
likely 
to be given the rewrite of Unity in Qt.

How to use the HUD in Xenial with Orca?

2016-09-01 Thread David Hunt
When I tap the alt key, I get an entry area, typing into this results in 
silence from orca until I dismiss the thing.  How is this supposed to 
work?  if, for instance, I type 'settings' into the hud, when a browser 
window is focused, is the preferences page supposed to come up?



Thanks,



Dave

How to use the HUD?

2012-04-07 Thread Dave Hunt

Hi,

Since I had a quiet day at home alone, I took the plunge and put the 
12.04 release, dated 07-April onto my trusty note-taker.  I'm trying to 
figure how the HUD works.  I hit 'alt', and type in a search key, for 
instance, preferences, while focused on a Firefox window.  As it 
happens, I guess the best result was the preferences for FF, but, what 
if I wanted some other preferences?  After typing my key, I tried moving 
around with the arrow keys.  How am I supposed to navigate my search hits?



Cheers,


Dave
