Hello willie

Thank to you. I think everybody wants to make orca the best screen reader
for any device and bing support for any user profile.

Well, I preffer other behaviur like other screen readers for windows.
You activate byPass function pressing orca+delete, then bypass mode is
activated only for 1 keystroke, after, byPass mode toggles off  


> 2) Sticky key for Orca key: Perhaps treat the Orca key always as a
specialized sticky key -- press it 2X in a row with no other keys and the
Orca >modifier is locked.  Press it again and it becomes unlocked.

It is o.k for me but this feature must be activated with a checkbox in the
orca's configuration dialogue. If the checkbox is unchecked, orca will work
like it does now.
The feature can name like "sticky orca mode" or something similar
My english is too bad :-)

The combobox is perfect. We can add these keys:
Insert
capsInsert
Insert capInsert (default)
Control+alt
Left-alt
Right-alt
Left-control
Right-control

I don't remember what is the name of window key in gnome....
