Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2012-01-19 18:54:33 UTC 
We have existing keybindings for caret navigation, e.g.:

* Left/Right: Char
* Ctrl+Left/Right: Word
* Up/Down: Line
* Ctrl+Up/Down: Paragraph(?)

It would be nice if we could have a keybinding for navigation by sentence for accessibility purposes (both for users who are blind and for users with print learning disabilities).

Notes:

1. Benjamin said this might be doable and to file this RFE. :)

2. The accessibility code already allows one to obtain sentences via AtkText, so the work to figure out how to identify sentences might already exist somewhere.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2012-01-19 18:58:43 UTC 
The biggest problem is to come up with a key combination that makes sense and doesn't cause too many problems.

Ctrl-Up/Down is used by both scrolledwindow and notebook, afair
Comment 2 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2012-01-19 19:10:22 UTC 
Could we use Alt-Up/Down?
Comment 3 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2012-01-19 19:48:38 UTC 
GtkSourceView has taken Alt combos for itself. Paolo claims they were modeled after Eclipse...
