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

[Krishnakant Mane <krmane gmail com>]

I agree,
More so because I am a believer of free software and the digital freedom 
we have.
So not forcing once thoughts is part of Freedom.
I love the keyboard shortcuts of Orca and many are much more logical 
than what I have herd off other proprietary screen readers.
That does not mean every one loves it, just that they will have to be 
with it or quit to some other screen reader and OS.
So every one has their views and when more people both in terms of past 
reputation and also in quantity make a decision, it is honored in free 
software community.
By reputation, mean the experience and the quality of justifications 
they have got consensus in the past.
And one can also forke a free software if need be or even make plugins.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
