<p>
|

|
|
In addition to the caret navigation commands which are part of GNOME,
|
||
|
|
<app>Orca</app> provides a number of commands which you can use to read a
|
||
|
|
document.

|

<note style="tip">

Below you will see several references to "KP". All
|
||
|
|
"KP" keys are located on the numeric keypad. You will also notice that
|
||
|
|
there are different keystrokes depending upon whether you are using a
|
||
|
|
desktop or a laptop -- or more accurately, whether you are using
|
||
|
|
<app>Orca</app>'s Desktop keyboard layout or its Laptop keyboard layout.
|
||
|

text object.

used to announce the details associated with the link such as the link type,

When Layout mode is enabled, <app>Orca</app>'s caret navigation will respect

the on-screen layout of the content and present the full line, including any

links or form fields on that line. When Layout mode is disabled, <app>Orca</app>

will treat objects such as links and form fields as if they were on separate

lines, both for presentation and navigation.

</p>
|

<p>

<app>Orca</app> provides a command to switch between Layout mode and Object mode.
