[orca-list] Several modifier keys at once



Hi everyone,

Sorry if this topic has been discussed earlier. I couldn't find it in the archive but I imagine this proposal was made before. Wouldn't it be nice to have several active modifier keys at once? In most cases, key bindings are scattered along the keyboard. Pressing CAPLOCK + T to have the time is simple enough, the keys are quite close, but when using CAPLOCK in combination with other farther keys, it requires both hands. Okay, that's not a real problem, but it would be nice, I think, to have several modifier keys at once. To this end, I suggest that:
*   In the preferences, the combo box to select a modifier key be 
replaced by a list of checkboxes that one could check on or off :
*   In configuring key bindings, Orca would identify a modifier key 
(that is, when entering a new key binding for a command, that Orca 
transforms Insert or CAPLOCK or KP Insert into the Orca modifier key).  
Doing so would allow a user to access one command through different key 
combinations.
I don't know whether this suggestion is very useful.  Remapping gestures 
so the closer modifier key is used is possible, after all, but I find it 
nice to have a choice regarding the possible modifier keys.
What do you think of this suggestion,

(P>S> ; if there is a regular place to make suggestion, like an official BTS, my most sincere apologies.)
