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