Re: [orca-list] Is where Am I working properly in the laptop layout?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Javier:

I think you are running into a couple of bad issues in Orca.  The first 
is that there is hardcoded knowledge of the "/" where it shouldn't be.  
This is in default.py:whereAmI:

           orcaKey = (inputEvent.event_string == "/")

I just added a bug for this: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487226.

The second is that key click count is not part of the key binding, but 
is instead part of the input event handler.  This is being handled via 
bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440490/
