That was a big wish I wrote to the list a few weeks ago, this would 
really be a very nice and helpfull feature.

Yes, thats also the way I would a sleep mode expect to work. Speeach 
output can already be  muted by an application profile, but it is not 
yet possible to stop keystrokes beeing interpreted by orca.


I am using a virtualized Windows with virtviewer from time to time and 
having a sleep mode activated via the application profile for virtviewer 
would also be very helpfull because keystrokes I need for screen reader 
inside the VM would not colide with orca shortcuts.


Thanks for bringing up this eally helpfull feature wish, I really hope 
it could be implemented.


Ciao,
