Description Willie Walker 2009-04-13 13:38:34 UTC 
From http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2009-March/msg00296.html:

"you should have some sort of "message state" that only appears on the braille display for a configurable amount of time (e.g. 5 seconds). So, for example, pressing caps lock would yield, "msg caps on" or something similar."

From http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2009-March/msg00294.html:

"I think displays usually have a key to bring up the last flash message that was displayed in case you missed it."

Patch that builds on patch from bug #576847

This patch builds on the patch from bug #576847 to flash a message for the Caps Lock modifier, but only if the "Enable locking keys" checkbox is checked on the "Key Echo" tab in the Orca preferences UI.
