Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
Dear Developers,
With Webkit GTK based Yelp application the caret navigation is not enabled by default, but this is very need if a visual impaired user using Webkit GTK based Yelp version for Orca Screen Reader and Magnifier.
the default enabled caret navigation for Yelp is need when visual impaired users using Orca and want reading help topics for example with up and down arrow keys. If caret navigation is not enabled, this is the default setting, Orca does'nt spokening actual selected lines for Webkit GTK based Yelp.
I maked a combined patch for casper 30accessibility scripts to creating a minimalist default Webkit based Yelp configuration file and enabling the caret navigation only for access=v2, v3 and braille profiles.
This problem fix I think is critical important for blindness related profiles, because without this fix manual need enabling the caret navigation mode after first launched the Yelp application. This is only one key press (F7 key), but if possible accepting my fix or a modifyed fix with your instructions, this is a good news and help this fix for beginner users with not known this keystroke.
New Scripts/
With ubiquity-
Another disabilities I don't no need enabling default the caret navigation for Yelp (for example motor difficulties), this parts I not handle this problem because not known need the caret navigation support for other disabilities users.
I documented the patch code what part I why doed.
If possible and not a big request, please not reject the /etc/skel part related code, I examine not existing already a yelp related configuration file in the /etc/skel directory, configuration file is created only if not existing the configuration directory in the /etc/skel folder.
If have a chance to accept this fix before Natty beta2, but need doing modification my fix, please tell me what part I need modifying or removing the code.
If you not accepting only the /etc/skel related configuration file creation, but accept another fix parts, I removing of course the skel related code if have a chance to land this problem fix before Natty beta2 with Casper package.

Please don't surprise, I modifyed my local build with the indicated 30accessibility script to try my patch with real environment for live system and real installation.
Both two situations the patched script working right.
