Re: [orca-list] Locking keys and braille

I hate to use a windows screen reader as an example, but you should have
some sort of "message state" that only appears on the braille display
for a configurable amount of time (e.g. 5 seconds). So, for example,
pressing caps lock would yield, "msg caps on" or something similar.
