Re: [orca-list] some minor issues with orca in gnome 3.14

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

This may be an F123 specific issue, but using gnome 3.14 I get no indication if a keyboard shortcut is 
enabled, they always say disabled. 
When editing I do hear the shortcut announced, but by name only when I enter the new combination. In most 
cases keybindings are not announced at all in 
the custom section, but some are read when exploring other tabs.
I won't ask about any other issues here until I find out more about how much of F123 is non standard re gnome 
configuration.
