Re: [orca-list] alt key not working in gnome

Dave,

It seems to be both alt keys.
The strange thing is that I use alt+f2 to launch orca after starting gnome, but once orca is started, the alt 
keys just don't work. I even tried alt+space to try to bring up the system menu for the orca window, but 
nothing.

Sometimes when I press alt+f1, orca says something about tomboy menu but I can't tell what exactly it is 
saying.

Hi,

Did you try both of the Alt keys?  Most keyboards map the left and the right
Alt keys as different keys, and the OS needs to recognize that both keys
should have the same function.   I had this problem back when I was using
Ubuntu Edgy, and had to remap the right Alt key to send the same value as
the left Alt key.

Hope this helps,

dave
