Description Eitan Isaacson 2008-03-05 22:27:07 UTC 
I am not sure how this would be speced, but it would be cool if a user could click on a link by using the cursor routing keys on her braille display.

First coarse pass at GNOME 2.24 planning.
Comment 2 Eitan Isaacson 2008-03-24 22:30:07 UTC 
The patch in bug 520612 adds this feature.
Comment 3 Mike Pedersen 2008-03-26 15:42:00 UTC 
This patch now seems to be working nicely on web pages.  I have found one thing however that I didn't notice before.  If you press a cursor routing button on a message in the thunderbird message list nothing happens.  I don't know if you want to fix that one in this bug or another.
Comment 4 Eitan Isaacson 2008-03-28 01:25:23 UTC 
Are these actually hyperlinks? Do you mean the message summary list? I think it is a treeview, not a document with links. So yeah, that should be a separate bug.
Comment 5 Eitan Isaacson 2008-04-03 22:19:58 UTC 
This feature has been added to trunk with the latest patch in bug #520612.
