<title>Keyboard Layout</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Orca has two keyboard layouts: Desktop (i.e. with a numeric keypad) and
|
|
Laptop. The layout you choose impacts which key is used as the Orca Modifier.

|
|
If you are using the Laptop layout, the default Orca Modifier will be
|
|
<key>CapsLock</key>
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are using the Desktop layout, the Orca Modifier will be both
|
|
<key>Insert</key> and <key>KP_Insert</key>, the latter being the
|
|
same key as <key>KP_0</key>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
</list>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The layout also determines the keystrokes associated with a number of
|
|
<app>Orca</app>'s commands, especially in the areas of Flat Review,
|
|
Where Am I, and Say All.
