Yes, I like the above list and I also feel that should be mapped in by
default because these type of bindings transcend all modes of using
Orca.  These don't really favor braille over speach, speech over
magnification, etc.

Now Michael made a realy cool suggestion; I rather like the profile
approach where one could specify modules to be added during
installation.  I wonder if it could be offered at a later point in
time if/when someone decides to switch over to a new braille display
or something.  Have the basic key configuration that just about any
user would need to use Orca and then offer these profiles for enhanced
hot key usage.  I would think an approach like this could greately
reduce the likelyhood of running into collision of key assignments.
