Storm Dragon has a cool and very useful set of customizations he adds
to Orca. He has a web-page for generating a customized
orca-customizations.py file:
http://www.stormdragon.us/orca-customizations/
We ship his customizations in Vinux by default, but it would be pretty
nice if they were simply part of Orca's default setup, in my opinion.
I feel particularly strong about his new volume control keybindings.
As a goal, I feel the Linux community should try and make all the
major Linux distros accessible by default to the blind, which will
require a standard Gnome keybinding for launching Orca, which should
likely be Control+Alt+o. Once that's done, blind users will still
need to be able to control the volume, which is normally on
multi-media keys, and hard to find. Public Linux boxes also tend to
be muted by sighted users, so a blind person will need access to the
volumee controls.
