Hi Sebastian.

What sort of compromise? In Evince Orca isn't overriding the keystrokes. 
In Firefox, you could bypass a single key press with Orca's bypass 
command. Also in Firefox, you could enter sticky focus mode in which 
Orca turns all keys over to Firefox without consuming them. Both of 
these options stop conflicts with Orca's navigation. Is something else 
needed?
