Description Chris Norman 2007-10-09 18:37:47 UTC 
I would like to see an extention to the standard key bindings page, which would allow the user to create custom controls, without having to know python, or hand edit orca-customistations.py. The extention would call scripts or commands, such as `date`, which could be mapped to a spacific key, without having to write the code in by hand. This would make things easier for people like myself who don't know python, and for new users too.

Cheers.

Chris Norman.

Interesting idea.  We'll gladly accept/review a patch.  Thanks!

The keybindings page lists known Orca commands and provides a way to associate keystrokes with them. Given an unknown command, I do not see how we could make it bindable as requested here. Once we have plugin support, hopefully the underlying need will have been met.
