Re: [orca-list] date and time keybindings

[Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976 gmail com>]

Hi,
I have always disliked the f12 key as time and date. It's so far off the track of normal typing it would be just as easy to read it from the panel. I vote for orca+t, it just works well. I know that Jaws uses f12 and so does NVDA, but that doesn't make it good lol.
Thanks
Storm
