What would be the advantage of this? And waht has this suggestion to do 
with a virtual buffer? Such a buffer is a totally different concept 
compared to the approach of Orca.
What you suggest is to give Orca a lynx-like appearance.
As Joanie told in her reply, you can switch Orca's behavior as you 
suggested by changing key bindings: But you cannot switch the 
appearances by a hotkey.
