Hi Will;
I think this is basically what I and other contributors meant by
remapping CapsLock. I would consider using the XKB client API for
this instead, in case xmodmap is not in the path (anyhow, I think XKB is
the preferred interface for modifying the keyboard map on XKB-aware
systems).
Hi Will.
Just tried the patch. It works nicely.
The only issue here is cleanliness and restoring the xmodmap to what it
was before Orca changed it. I'm not sure this is a big concern. The
reason is that I assume Orca is going to be something that the user runs
all the time to access their
The concern regarding XKB/xmodmap is worth noting. I believe xmodmap is
an acceptable XKB client (if I recall correctly, xmodmap has code in it
to work with XKB), however, and it should ship on all platforms we care
about. If we come across a platform that causes us concern with
xmodmap, we can
To play devil's advocate: What about instances where folks are sharing
the same computer but not using separate usernames, and not all of them
are blind? Okay so it's a stretch ;-)
Good question, and not really a stretch when you think about public use
information systems. The Caps
So...is the proposed solution acceptable? Another way to look at it
would be this: assume I was smart enough to remember the xmodmap
solution when Mike was beating on me for Caps Lock last year. Caps Lock
would work as described above and Caps Lock would be the default Orca
modifier. Would

Hi Will.
Damn computer! I'm looking for the enormously large collection of
books on 'GNOME', not 'gnome'. Why doesn't this Caps Lock key work? My
life is ruined. Down with Orca users! Kill them all! They must die!
Take their babies, too!.
And folks say libraries -- and Hollis -- are
Hi Will.

I think you're done. The functionality provided via the most recent
patch (i.e. the one in which Caps Lock gets restored when you quit Orca)
works very nicely. Thanks for doing it!
Regarding an alternative way to have full
Noted. For those users that absolutely positively need to set the lock
modifier, they can set the Orca modifier to something else. This isn't
perfect, but it is workable.
If there are no reasonable objections by the end of the day, I'm going
to consider discussion of this issue closed and the
Hi Bill
Thanks for the in-depth response - wasn't trying to single FF out, just
noting that a lot of postings on some lists about it.
The point I was trying to aim at was one of the development language already
having the assistive technology link built in for graphical interfaces. So

In Windows, Jaws manages to prevent the capslock key from being latched

On my french keyboard, Mod2 is Numlock, Mod4 is Windows and Mod5 is AltGr.

I vote for employing Insert and CapsLock as modifiers. This will emulate
what's used in some Windows screen readers, and users will be accustomed
to it, which is a good thing.
