Sorry, I deleted some of the OP original message so I can't tell whether
he mentioned a mac book.  I agree about the insert key on laptops being
way out of the way.

I don't get the toggle here using Vinux 3.1 but I've switched the caps
lock and the windows key to make my life better with emacs.  I did have
the problem on my last installation of Ubuntu 10.10 with stock orca that
the modifier key was switched when changing things in orca preferences.
I don't seem to have that problem now, though.

Best,
