Hi Aurelian,

Send a message to the Orca mailing list:
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list

This is certainly the best place for you question.

You can also find a lot of informations about Orca configuration in
http://live.gnome.org/Orca, although I don't find anything related with the
option you want at a first glance.

Best regards,
Carlos.
