I would go for an initial doalog asking which keyboard perhaps. I would
not really like autodetection as one of my laptops actually has a full
keyboard so the desktop layout is great. I find that even on my standard
laptop keyboard I don't like the capslock as an orca key because it also
seems to turn caps on and off at the same time and since I use braille
often with no speech on at all I don't recognize it until I start typing
and if it is a pssword I am typing it really mucks up the works.

hi all
This is a feature I've been pondering over for a while. Would it be
possible to add code to orca which would autodetect the type of computer
you're running on, desktop or laptop, and automatically activate that
keyboard layout? I'm asking because when I installed sonar on my mac,
whic has no insert key or number pad, I had to run orca -s to get to the
prefs dialog where I could change the keyboard layout. This isn't a big
deal, but if orca could autodetect the presence of a laptop, it would
make it that much easier.
It could be great to have a initial configuration setup dialog at the first Orca start or maybe just the
choice between dasktop or laptop like in NVDA.
Best regards.
