I've never understood why anyone who relies on a screen reader would attempt to use terminal apps with Orca and the Gnome Terminal. I understand Windows users have no choice in their environment, or Mac users either. But, on Linux a simple Ctrl-AltF[2-6] and you have a superior enviornment for terminal apps with a screen reader native to that environment. Orca isn't going to catch up to Speakup anytime soon, if ever. Nor should it try to. What's the point. Speakup can't do what Orca does superbly well. So, why should anyone have a problem relying on Speakup to do what it does superbly well? I just don't get it. Never have.
