Personally, I like orca+t for time and orca+d for date. I don't know
what kind of keyboard you have, but on a desktop layout pressing
insert+f12 is darn uncomfortable. It's easier on a laptop layout, but
time and date is something you want to get rather quickly when you want
it and your hands are already right there. Let's not use other screen
reader's bindings just because other screen readers use them, especially
when they're not the most convenient. I wouldn't want Orca to become a
clone of the Windows screen readers, if I wanted a Windows approach I'd
be using Windows.
