Re: [orca-list] Proposal: Eliminate the "gui setup" command line options

Hi Dave,

 That makes sense, but I am concerned about how easy or complicated it 
will be to access Orca's preferences if they go ahead and do this. 
Currently I can press insert+space from anywhere in Gnome and am 
instantly taken to Orca's preferences. If the Gnome developers bury 
Orca's preferences 10 layers deep in Gnome's control center will I have 
to spend a minute or two navigating to Orca's settings when a simple hot 
key command does the same thing now?

I'm all for making Orca a part of the U.I. but if that change requires 
the end user to spend time navigating to the control center, looking for 
Universal Access, then the Orca preferences, etc just to change the 
punctuation level on the fly that really frickin' sucks. The only 
solution for that would be to be able to toggle many of those settings 
on the fly with a hot key of some kind like insert+p for punctuation or 
insert+v to change voices or something.
