Re: [orca-list] Suggestion about orca keyboard interface

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I hope I understood what you were asking correctly. Is it that you want
the orca key to be possible to configure like a sticky key? I don't know
much about sticky keys, but would it be possible to configure the orca
key in gnome as a sticky key, and then would orca just see it as being
held when sticky keys says that the orca key is held?

If the above doesn't work, then it would be possible for orca to be
modified for that behaviour, it would just need to be that the orca key
toggles a setting like (orca-key)+f11 toggles speak cell or row. Having
said that, while it might be simple enough the idea, I don't know how
easy it would be for this modification to be made to orca (eg. if there
would be a lot of code to change to support this).
