orca does not have an entry under System Settings

[don bright]

According to https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/howto_the_orca_modifier.html.en i should be able to open the Orca preferences and change my Orca modifier so that it will work on my laptop.

My laptop does not have a keypad, and the 'insert' key is combined with Printscreen so that it doesn't work properly.

Unfortunately the only way to open the preferences is to press the Orca modifier! catch 22.

Orca needs to have a configurator panel in the ordinary place, (System Settings) like every other piece of system UI software does, such as the Brightness, the Power settings, the Sound settings, Appearance, Displays, Mouse/Touchpad, Language Support, etc.

This is the 'obvious' place people will look for it.

And it is not only for sight-impaired users, it is for programmers who are trying to test programs to see if they work for sight impaired users.

This is an issue you will encounter upstream with a pure GNOME environment as well, so I suggest you file a bug in GNOME bugzilla. Long term I believe there are plans to move Orca's settings into the GNOME preferences, but its not there yet.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
