Hello,
I am afraid setting arbitrary key as an orca modifier key is not
possible even by editing config files.
Recently ability to open screen reader preferences window by
executing orca with -s parameter
has
been added as an alternate method besides orca+space
keyboard command as a result of a
discussion
on this list. This should be working in orca master.
I assume remapping keys is considered to be rather virtualization
software feature.
So at least to partially answer your question you can launch
screen reader preferences window by executing it from the terminal
or launcher like this:
orca -s
Greetings

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've been running orca. I've been keeping an
eye on the good work Jonie is doing with firefox and decided it's time
to give orca a spin again.
I've got a little bit of a strange vm setup and would like to map orca's
modifier key to left control.
Can anyone tell me what the correct key name for left control is and
what the line to add to orca-customizations.py is?
I see the following in the user preferences file:
"orcaModifierKeys": [
"Insert",
"KP_Insert"
],
I'm guessing I could add it there if I knew the key name but it would be
overwritten by orca?
I've looked back through the mailing list but can't find a reference to
doing it in orca customizations. Plenty of stuff how to set it through
the orca settings UI.
I'm unable to get into that ATM as I don't have a working orca modifier
key :(.
Any advice welcome.
Kind regards
Bart
