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.

Even on Apple Mac hardware ? The keyboard is really far from PC
keyboards... 

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm saying that there is no set of key bindings
which will work on all hardware. Therefore we need more than one set of
default layouts.

Samuel Thibault asks:

Wouldn't it be possible, when orca is very first launched, to just ask
the user to press the key she will want to use, and then let her
configure it again later on if needed?

It's not quite that simple, because some users have easy access to
numeric keypads and some don't, as the original post mentioned. But
whatever defaults are suggested, the user should be allowed to override
on start up. Users do need guidance, however, as some will be using not
just Orca but Linux for the first time.
