Re: [orca-list] Turning CapsLock when it's Orca modifier again (was autodetection of keyboard layouts?)

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu gmail com>]

In my case I am using whatever comes standard on Ubuntu.  I just turn off 
speech by using orcakey-s (I leave it on when booting up because I may not 
have my braille display on iccediately or it may not pick up immediately). 
I have not tried killing orca and restarting it.
