Re: [orca-list] toggling capslock

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Igor:

The shell script used to launch Orca has some code in it to shut off the 
CapsLock behavior if you are using the CapsLock as the Orca key.  It 
should restore the CapsLock behavior if you exit Orca normally.  If you 
kill Orca in some bad way, however, the behavior may not get restored.
