Re: [orca-list] Keyboard Mode Flat Review Bug

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

That's outrageous. Keys used for review have nothing to do with input.
Echoing them makes using flat review hopelessly cumbersome. Is the
notion that somehow your brain isn't supposed to hear those chars while
you hear what you're reviewing? Most brains don't work that way, imho.
Mine doesn't.

Oh, it's a bug all right. 

Do you mean to tell me that were I to enable echoing of function keys,
I'd hear "page up" and "page down" and "home" etc when using flat review
on the numeric keypad? Ridiculous and unusable.
