Re: [orca-list] Changing the keybindings to be JAWS-like or

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

This issue has come up a couple of times or more on this list before.  I
don't recall anybody being crapped on:  disagreed with, yes, but not crapped
on or yelled at or anything of that sort.

I think my view on keystrokes is essentially the same as Chris's.  Others
have written well about it, so I'll stop spouting.

Thanks!

Al

I was just thinking today that someone might walk away from this discussion
thinking the Orca and Linux community isn't receptive to such suggestions. I
can't help what conclusions people draw, but I don't think this is the case
at all.

I think this, and the related suggestions, are excellent ideas. As another
Orca user, one who came from Windows and who moves between Windows and Linux
every single day, I have a slightly different take, namely let's look for
common key bindings, but let's not settle for an inferior model just to make
it easier for those users making the transition from one particular
operating system and screen reader. If Orca or any screen reader comes up
with a better set of key bindings or user interface then people will
appreciate that once they make the transition.

I am not an Orca developer, and I don't speak for the Orca development
community. I'm just another user with a different opinion. I apologize if
anyone feels like I crapped on them or their idea. I certainly don't feel
crapped on myself just because others don't agree with my opinion.

I'm sure if anyone contributes any code to Orca allowing the easy simulation
of another screen reader's key bindings then that code would be welcome.
