    <title>Orca Modifier Keys</title>
    <p>
      The <gui>Screen Reader Modifier Keys</gui> combo box allows you to select which
      key or keys will serve as the Orca Modifier. The available options are:
    </p>
    <list>
      <item>
        <p>
          <gui>KP_Insert</gui> (the same key as the <key>0</key> on the
          numeric keypad)
      </p></item>
      <item><p><gui>Insert</gui></p></item>
      <item><p><gui>Insert, KP_Insert</gui></p></item>
      <item><p><gui>Caps_Lock</gui></p></item>

    <title>The Key Bindings Table</title>
    <p>
      The key bindings table provides a list of <app>Orca</app> operations
      and the keys that are bound to them.
    </p>
    <list>
      <item>
        <p>
          The <gui>Function</gui> column contains a description of the
          <app>Orca</app> command to be performed.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          The <gui>Key Binding</gui> column contains the keyboard shortcut currently
          assigned to the <app>Orca</app> command. You can modify the value of
          this column by pressing <key>Return</key>, pressing the keys for the
          new binding, and pressing <key>Return</key> again.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          The <gui>Modified</gui> column serves both as an indicator to what
          has been changed and as a way to restore the default bindings
          associated with that function.
        </p>
      </item>
    </list>
    <p>
      Beneath the list of <app>Orca</app> keybindings, you will find a group
      of "unbound" commands. These are commands which we feel will be very
      useful for some users, but not needed by most users. Rather than "use
      up" a keystroke for such commands, we have left them unassigned by
      default. At the end of the list are the braille bindings, for use with
      a refreshable braille display.
