Re: [orca-list] Changing Orca key

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi
Is there a way to prevent orca from overwriting this preference? When  
I change it manually like this, if I then change any of my orca  
preferences it is overridden with the default modifiers of the  
keyboard layout I've chosen.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
