Re: [orca-list] Changing the Orca Key...




Thanks.  I highly recommend this be added to the GUI, as virtualization is becoming more and more common, and this is a problem under both VMWare and Parallels products.

The files mentioned can be found in the ~/.orca directory.  If they don't exist, create one of them.  Hope this helps,

Hi,

I've checked the key bindings tab, but do not see any way of changing the Orca key, which is listed in a read only edit field within that page.  Unless I'm missing something, you can't change the Orca key here.

Hi,
 
Try the Key Bindings tab in the Orca Preferences dialog box.

My expertise is largely Mac and WIndows based, so bear with me.

Running Ubuntu in a virtual machine on a laptop.  I'd like to use the laptop layout, but VMWare Fusion for Mac doesn't give complete control of the caps lock key to the guest OS.  I'd like to preserve the laptop keyboard layout, and only change the Orca key to something else...possibly the accent key (`), or the right command key...or something.  It seems to me that this should be an included feature, but searching for the option and through the Orca WIKI and various other resources has turned up nothing.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.
