Mouse Review</title> <desc>Using the pointer to examine the screen</desc> <credit type="author"> <name>Joanmarie Diggs</name> <email>joanied@gnome.org</email> </credit> <license> <p>Creative Commons Compartir Igual 3.0</p> </license> </info> <title>Mouse Review</title> <p> <app>Orca</app>'s Mouse Review feature causes <app>Orca</app> to present the object under the mouse pointer. Unlike <app>Orca</app>'s <link xref="howto_flat_review">Flat Review</link> feature, Mouse Review is not limited to the active window; instead, <app>Orca</app> will attempt to identify what accessible object, if any, is visually under the pointer as you move the mouse. If you have moved the pointer over an accessible object with information to present, <app>Orca</app> will present that object and its information to you. </p> <p> Because enabling Mouse Review causes <app>Orca</app> to listen for, and then process, all changes in the position of the Mouse Pointer, this feature is disabled by default. To have it always enabled, check the <gui>Speak object under mouse</gui> checkbox found on the <link xref="preferences_general">General page of <app>Orca</app>'s Preferences dialog</link>. In addition, you will find an unbound command named <gui>Toggle mouse review mode</gui> on the <link xref="preferences_key_bindings">Key Bindings page</link> of that same dialog box. By binding this command, as described in the <link xref="howto_key_bindings">Introduction to Key Bindings</link>, you can enable and disable Mouse Review on an as-needed basis. </p> <note style="tip"> <title> Default Settings and Keybindings Are Independent of One Another </title> <p> Note that you can choose to have Mouse Review always enabled or not and still toggle it on and off by binding and using the <gui>Toggle mouse review mode</gui> command. It is not necessary to enable it in order to toggle it because settings and keybindings are independent of one another. </p> </note> </page>
