Re: [orca-list] Input requested: What is *needed* with respect to choosing an Orca modifier

[Paul Hunt <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hi,

I also disagree with changing the default so that the smaller insert key 
is not an Orca key by default for desktop layouts.

The other day I accidentally changed the layout setting from laptop to 
desktop while in the Orca preferences.  It's the first control when you 
bring up the dialogue so its easy enough to do.

And since I'm on a laptop which has no kp_insert key, I'd have been a 
bit stuck once I realised what I'd done if I couldn't have used the 
insert key I do have to get the prefs dialogue back up to change it back.

Okay, I know how to run through setup so I would've been ok but it 
would've been inconvenient and a newbie might be totally stuck.

Paul
