Re: [orca-list] Let keypad key as "normal" keys when used in combination ?

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

So you think the + key should be used as SayAll in Orca? That's the key 
that does that here, and that would get very old very quickly having to 
use a passthrough just to type a + sign. I also wouldn't want to use a 
passthrough just to type a line break, since the enter key would be 
WhereAmI. Most of Orca's keypad keys map to typing keys that need to 
retain their normal functions. Those that use a modifier only make sense 
in the context of their unmodified equivalents. For example, the keypad 
7 key moves to the previous line of flat review, and the Orca modified 
keypad 7 moves to the top left corner of flat review. It makes little to 
no sense to use the Orca modified keyboard home key for this purpose.


Something like this could possibly make sense if keybindings are 
modified, but then the feature that is really needed is to be able to 
bind a single function to two keys. Then the user could bind SayAll to 
maybe the modified arrow key and the modified keypad 2 at the same time. 
But this would only work in cases where the modified keypad key isn't 
already bound to a different function and where it makes sense for the 
two keys to do the same thing.
