Re: [orca-list] Orca key + q doesn't quit orca

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Will this shortcut work from any other console like a text console?  Oh, 
also, I tried 'killall orca' on several occasions and that never worked. 
 I don't think Orca populates a pid file so killall never works for me. 
 I always have to do a 'ps ax |grep orca' and then kill -9 that process 
number I got from the previous ps command.  I need to do this quite 
often when I lose speech in the gnome terminal.  Personally, I want 
speech available to me when doing these things.  I have no clue where I 
am when Orca locks up like that.  So this method has always worked for 
me.  Then after killing orca, I can go back to the gnome window, press 
alt-f2 and wait five seconds and then type 'orca' and once dialog is 
dismissed, Orca will usually start back up.  I would emagin a hotkey to 
start Orca would come in real handy here.
