Re: [orca-list] Do you want to change the default Orca keyboard layout to laptop ?

[Marc Sabatella <marc outsideshore com>]

For, unfortunately neither option actually works.  I am running on a Chromebook via the "crostini" feature, and there is no physical caps lock or insert key.  The keyboard combinations that work to perform these functions normally don't activate the Orca commands.  So I have to customize any shortcut I want to use.  Would be nice to have other options for the main Orca modifier.  Like, whatever "search" maps to, I couldn't tell you, really.  Or the Google Assistant key, which I never otherwise use except that I have it mapped to caps lock (still won't work as Orca modifier though).

Hello all,

Joanie requested to me to ask you about changing the default keyboard layout of Orca from the desktop one to the laptop one.

If we do this, your currently keyboard layout will not change.

When you turn on a new computer with a fresh profile, you will have by default the laptop keyboard layout with the caps lock key as orca modifier.

What do you think about it?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
