[orca-list] FW: Orca Hot Key

["Ian Pascoe" <softy lofty ilp btinternet com>]

Hi Will

Do you still want me to do this even though I'm still on v1?  I don't know
if this will help, but the keyboard is UK layout but the Insert and Delete
keys are swapped around in position - ie the insert is above the delete key
when I would expect it to be below.  It works correctly in Windblows though.

In addition, I find that the Insert hot key only works after power up if an
application has been opened and closed before you try to use it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that my system has got a servere case of
gremlins as I can only get w3m and lynx to get intermittant access to the
web when the sys admin tools work with no problems.

Could someone try the Orca preferences launch straight after log in from
power up and see if it's me?

If so, I'll wait until Ubuntu launches the stable Feisty  and do a total
clean install on that.  I presume as that comes with Gnome 2.18 it'll also
come with eSpeak and associated drivers as standard?

Cheers

Ian

Well...darn!  That key should work, too.  Can you try doing the
following so we can see what the key is bound to on your system?

1) Add the following to the bottom of $HOME/.orca/user-settings.py:

orca.debug.debugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_ALL
orca.debug.debugFile = open('debug.out', 'w', 0)

2) Stop/restart Orca

3) Press the 'bad' Insert key several times.

4) Stop Orca.

5) Send us the debug.out file.

Thanks!

Will
