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

Sorry Will, I see I worded that part a bit incorrectly.  What I mean
is if speech is lost during a gnome session.  Most often lately when
this has been happening is when exitting from Firefox.  That seems to
be the most often place for it to happen.  Unfortunately, it doesn't
happen all the time so I hesitate to turn on debugging logs and let
them roll until it finally breaks.  I could end up with a rather huge
file to go throu to find the relevant information.  I know this kind
of vague report isn't of much value without specifics so I'll have to
see if I can capture a log some time.

Hi Steve:

Running "orca -q" will execute the search and destroy logic in the orca  
shell script and it should work fine from a text console.

I'm not sure a hotkey to start Orca would help much since the desktop  
might be locked up at the point you need it.  But, it does depend upon  
where the lock up is happening.

BTW, I am somewhat concerned about the "lose speech in the gnome  
terminal" part of your message.  Do you have a test we can use to  
reproduce the problem?  My apologies if you've already logged a bug on  
this and I've missed it somehow.

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.

You can also type:
orca -q
to kill orca.

Hi,
Hmm, so not a simple matter of wrong key press then.  I think you 
can open terminal and type:
killall orca
if you absolutely have to close it.
Seems like an interesting bug.

Hi, my mistake!
In fact it is capslock+q.
However when I press capslock+q orca doesn't quit, it reads the  
title bar.
Thanks.

 Hi,
 That should be capslock+q unless they have changed it.

 Hi all,

 The keyboard layout is configured to laptop and I'm running  

latest orca

 from trunk.
 Any ideia?

 Thanks.
