            Bug ID: 506445
           Summary: Orca Screenreader uses wrong keyboard bindings for
                    structural navigation on websites
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: nuno69a at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The Orca Screenreader incorrectly binds modifier keys to structural navigation
keys on websites

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With Orca enabled, open any website with Mozilla Firefox or Chromium.
2. Press Orca Key + H to turn on learn mode
3. Press modifier keys by thgemselves (left CTRL. left shift, left alt, right
control, right shift, right alt)

OBSERVED RESULT
Below is the list of bindings Orca ssigns to those actions
- Left CTRL: goes to the last live region that made an announcement
- Left Shift: Go to the next image
- Left alt: goes to the next button.
- Right shift: Go to next combo box.
- Enter: go to next table.


EXPECTED RESULT
Modifier keys, by themselves never had actions bound to them. I expect the
modifiers, especially shift to behave like it always did, allowing m to reverse
structural navigation.
