Would key echo accomplish the same thing?

For my part, I turn off key echo and character echo in Orca. The only
time I want to know what function a key press does is if I'm in help or
tutorial mode. I find anything else to be just too chatty. This is why
if anything is implemented here, it should be configurable.
