Re: [orca-list] Your comments on Bug 735691 - Change default Screen reader shortcut?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

but why not add control alt n, like nvda, or what ever jaws has, if they have a default these days? Narrator, 
come on, 
give me a break. And anyone coming from win8, will be fighting with secure boot issues most likely and if 
they get 
throught that they surely can deal with our shortcut. 
Seriously, there are not enough rational shortcuts, and having two or three for one task will just add to 
confussion as 
much as it helps anyone, and it will cause problems for those of us who use a lot of shortcuts for other 
thiings...If it 
is easly disabled, well maybe, but no, this will not make Linux more popular, and won't help many people. 
Windows 8 is not 
a standard, and is going to be replaced with something else this year which may have a different shortcut 
anyway.
