Re: [orca-list] Keybindings on non-US keyboard layouts

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

Usually I can press the key the same way if I was using english keyboard 
layout no mather I'm using slovak keyboard layout almost at all times.
However with caps_lock+slash I can't make it work no mather if I do have 
english or slovak keyboard layout selected.
On my laptop slash key is located to the left of the right shift key in 
the bottom row of keys just above the spacebar.
In the desktop layout pressing insert+numpad enter works fine for 
getting the window title so I can't figure out what's going on here.


Greetings

Peter
