[nvda] Re: a suggestion for keyboard combinations in NVDA.

I would like to second the idea of a laptop layout.  I realize that
directions are available for how to create your own, but as NVDA gets out to
more people there are going to be a lot of people who will not feel that
they are capable of doing this themselves.

Subject: [nvda] Re: a suggestion for keyboard combinations in NVDA.

I have another suggestion concerning those like me using NVDA on
laptops. Why not include a laptop layout, or at least the ability to
change the "modifier" key for NVDA. Again this isn't urgent, but it's
quite hard having to press FN + a key + another key. Yes, I have an
insert key on the laptop, but I do not have a number pad, and I don't
wish to use one since I don't feel the need. Thanks.
