Re: [orca-list] lost my orca modifier

["Albert Sten-Clanton" <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

Hi, Peter.

With both Fedoras 17 and 18, I've lost the Orca modifier from time to time.
Indeed, with 18 it's pretty sure I'll lose it at least once a day.  Or,
maybe it won't be the modifier, but the keystroke I use to change
punctuation levels, Orca plus p.  

Since Bill Acker helped me get Speakup running, I almost always have one or
two terminals using it.  When Orca screws up, I switch to one of these and
type

Pkill orca

Orca kindly says goodbye.  I then return to the gui, hit alt-plus-f2, type 

Orca

And hit enter.  Orca returns, and I'm usually left where I was when I
discovered the screw-up.  The key works fine after that.

Hope this helps.

Al

Subject: [orca-list] lost my orca modifier

This is going to be embarrassing but I've lost my orca modifier key somehow.
No matter which layout I select nor which orca modifier I select separately
<orca space> doesn't bring up a preferences page and <orca semicolon> in the
document inserts semicolon. the only thing unusual about my current setup
(fedora 18) is that X isn't coming up at boot time so I'm logging in on a
virtual console then running startx. 
This is Fedora 18 and orca 3.6.3 as distributed with the OS.
Any pointers?
thanks in advance
Peter
