Hi all
The topic of Orca on laptops has popped up many times in the past on the
lists. So the Ubuntu Accessibility team, and the Orca team decided
to get together and talk about it. We have several ideas as to what a

users of

I agree that this would make the most sense. As Luke pointed out, there
are so many different layouts (not to mention so many different users).
Is there a reason we need to select THE Orca modifier key?

AltGr is one that often gets forgotten; what about that? It does appear
to be a modifier key on all the systems I am aware of.

Agreed, but doesn't orca use arrow keys for many of its functions?
I use altgr-arrows for producing ←→↑↓ :)
I know there are lots of keys

Well I don't think that will be an option, as some laptops don't have a

with the right control key.
I think you might have that confused, yes. Any non-English laptop would

Hi Bill.
I guess one possible way to get out of the conflict situation would be
to exclude ShiftLock from the orca modifier mask;
But Might not ShiftLock be an ideal modifier key for some?
I also think it would be preferable to have it as a modifier rather than
as the key that makes
There's nothing wrong with having sensible defaults, but I struggle to
believe there is a set of magic bindings which work on all hardware.
How about running a configuration program at Orca's first startup that

Hi Bill.
I am not sure I understand your point - or perhaps you are
misunderstanding me.
I suspect it's the former, but we'll see. :-)
What I am suggesting is that we specifically _avoid_ using ShiftLock
And what I am suggesting is that we specifically _allow_ using it (if

Hi all
Some thoughts that have been kind of troubling me over the past.
There have been various postings in the past about compatability , or lack
of it, with various applications. The most notable being that of Firefox
just recently. In my ignorance, should the community be aiming to get
Why can't a selection of keyboard types be in the main prefs dialogue of
orca? Have it part of the text setup.
