Re: [orca-list] Alt+Super+s shortcut key

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

FYI everybody... I found a second brand new Dell keyboard with which 
right alt plus right super plus s does not work. Left alt plus left 
super plus s does work. It is a bit awkward to presss that but if you 
get a new keyboard, especially from Dell, it might be worth trying. 
Older Dell keyboards appear to work as always.
