[orca-list] (Solved) Re: Problem with Orca modifier keyon Ubuntu Karmic

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

Thanks to the beeping mouse pointer in NVDA, I finally figured out what 
the problem was with the Orca modifier key. Seems that just before 
Karmic was released, mouse keys was turned on by default. This is not a 
problem except when using a screen reader that uses the keypad. It's 
never a good idea to have two things trying to use the same keys at the 
same time. Conflicts somehow tend to arise when this happens.

I went to system/preferences/keyboard and switched to the "mouse keys" 
tab. Then I unticked the box that says "The mouse pointer can be moved 
with the keypad". Now, everything is absolutely peachy. I can now say I 
love this new Ubuntu. They probably do need to turn off mouse keys by 
default though. Now to fix my system sounds again. :)

Thanks,
Kyle
