[orca-list] Couple of questions

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I have a couple of questions.

1. How do I get orca to bind presses of the keys on a Braille display to 
a function? I notice in Storm's customizations.py script for 
date/weather/etc that keybindings are added to 
orca.settings.keyBindingsMap (to the "default" value of the dictionary). 
I notice that in orca.settings there is also a brailleBindingsMap, so is 
it the same idea?
2. If I want to get orca to emit a keypress, does it have a way of doing 
this built in or do I need to use something like virtkey 
(http://launchpad.net/virtkey)?

OK, may be it would be good for me to express what I am trying to do as 
if there is a better way to do it then someone could actually say.

I want it that I can do certain keyboard actions from my Braille display 
eg. tab/shift+tab/cursor up and down/etc. My thought was, if I can get 
orca to emit a keypress then I can map a function I create to a Braille 
key press. As far as I know orca doesn't have such actions defined 
internally so that's why I thought simply emit the key press and let 
gnome/the application pick up the event and perform its action.
