The "list of" dialogs, even though they are technically structural
navigation related, were deliberately separated out from what happens
when you turn off structural navigation keys. The reason being that
unmodified letters and numbers (like H and 3) are fairly likely to
conflict with native application behavior. Alt+Shift+H, Alt+Shift+3,
etc., on the other hand, are far less likely to conflict. So you can
do Orca+Z to be able to use H and 3 in the app and still be able to
bring up Orca's lists of elements. Having said that, if you find this
decision a bad one, I suppose I could do a blanket disabling of them.

Please let me know what you think.
