[orca-list] Several modifier keys at once

[Vincent LE GOFF <vincent legoff srs gmail com>]

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.)
