Re: [orca-list] Proposal: Remove the "alternative keybinding" support from Orca, requesting clarification

[Timothy Hobbs <timothyhobbs seznam cz>]

They allow you to have more than one keybinding for each orca function.
Say Control-s is your keybinding to turn off speech, you could set the
alternative keybinding to F12.  And then BOTH Control-s and F12 would
turn speech on and off.
