[orca-list] That CapsLock Still Bugs Me!

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Since I use the laptop layout, I use the Caps Lock key to function as 
the Orca modifier. When single tapping the Caps Lock key, no speech is 
heard; in fact, no sound is heard at all. but the actual shift status 
does change. I would expect this final behavior but I really don't like 
the fact that nothing is heard. What happens quite often for me is the 
shift status gets changed without my knowing it and then I end up 
entering invalid passwords and whatever. Is there any way to get either 
Orca to speak the shift status when pressed? You hear this when you 
press the bypass key first. The problem here is sometimes, the shift 
status gets changed when using the Orca modifier. I'm not sure if using 
the Orca modifier + key for commands always changes this status but I 
see times when it does. Hence my complaining about the Caps Lock key in 
the first place.

Yes, I use Speakup on this box. I'm using a very recent master pull of 
Orca on an up-to-date Arch Linux machine.
