Subject: How to use the HUD in Xenial with Orca?
Message-ID: <42b23410-65af-d9f0-41e8-2a0e018059ae@posteo.de>

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

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.
