By default, in my system, the shortcut key for that
particular function is not set. That's why I sent you
instruction to set them up. Afterward, you could use your
keyboard shortcut to change the rate on the fly.
In my system, I just press Ctrl + Shift + } to uncrease and
Ctrl + Shift + [ to decrease speech rate
You kind of misunderstood my question.
I totally understand entirely how to go about doing this
through the Orca main window with Orca+Space, and then
following the directions you outlined.
What I'm trying to do however is to increase or decrease
the rate on the fly without for the need of going all that
long about way opening the Orca window, tabbing around, etc.
I'm wanting one keystroke that regardless the window I'm in
will speed up the rate, and another that will speed it down.
For example, in Windows with JAWS, alt+CTRL+Page up will
speed up the speech, and alt+CTRL+page down will slow it
down.
I'm looking for an equivalent to that with Orca so I don't
have to go all the way in to that screen just to accomplish
that one little thing. It might be useful if I want to
change other settings while at it, but if all I need is to
bump the rate up or down, then that method opening the
window just seems a little bit over kill to me, not to
mention a bit tedious.
Chris.

Yes, you need to open Orca preferences ( <Orca
Modifier> + Space)
- Press Right until reach Key Bindings
- Press Tab twice and you're in key binding list
- Press down arrow until you find row "Increase speech
Rate" or "Decrease speech rate"
- Press Right to go to key binding column, press Enter
and then press your desired shortcut keys.
Hope that helps

Is there a way, on the fly without having to go into
the Orca window, that I can, with a single keyboard
shortcut, increase or decrease the speaking rate?
