You could probably use the insert key as a modifier key. My laptop has

all in a single vertical row; delete, home, page up, page down, and
finally end. The insert is to the left of the delete key. I think many
of you are still thinking in terms of the jaws key layout which uses
the numpad keys. This is being abandoned more and more in later
versions of screen readers. Anyway, this is great work on this thing,
to say the least.

Another question concerning keyboard layout and object navigation. What
is the power or advantage in object navigation as opposed to the way
that JAWS and window eyes does it?
