The Key Bindings Table

The key bindings table provides a list of Orca operations and the keys that are bound to them.

The Function column is a description of the Orca operation to be performed.

The Key Binding is the primary way to invoke the function from the keyboard. Note that the key binding may include the word "Orca". This indicates that the Orca Modifier key should be held down along with the other keys. You can modify the value of this column by pressing Return, pressing the keys for the new binding, and pressing Return again.

The Alternate column allows you to specify an additional keybinding for this function. You can modify the value of this column by pressing Return, pressing the keys for the new binding, and pressing Return again.

The Modified column serves both as an indicator to what has been changed and as a way to restore the default bindings associated with that function.

Beneath the list of Orca keybindings, you will find a group of "unbound" commands. These are commands which we feel will be very useful for some users, but not needed by most users. Rather than "use up" a keystroke for such commands, we have left them unassigned by default. At the end of the list are the braille bindings, for use with a refreshable braille display.
