Re: [orca-list] Progress update on the "List of" dialogs

[Fernando Botelho <fernando botelho f123 org>]

Dear Joanie and all, I hope I am not too late in terms of offering my 
two cents.

I am all in favor of this solution, lets  use alt shift combinations and 
unbind the few conflicts that exist.

Also, the new features are way too important to leave them unbound.

Control Alt combinations are already used by distributions like F123 and 
Vinux and I am sure many others. Plus they should be reserved for the 
user to play with.

Thanks,

Fernando
