  <title>Keyboard Layout</title>
  <p>
    Orca has two keyboard layouts: Desktop (i.e. with a numeric keypad) and
    Laptop. The layout you choose impacts which key is used as the Orca Modifier.
  </p>
  <list>
    <item>
      <p>
        If you are using the Laptop layout, the default Orca Modifier will be
       <key>CapsLock</key>
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        If you are using the Desktop layout, the Orca Modifier will be both
        <key>Insert</key> and <key>KP_Insert</key>, the latter being the
        same key as <key>KP_0</key>.
      </p>
    </item>
  </list>
  <p>
    The layout also determines the keystrokes associated with a number of
    <app>Orca</app>'s commands, especially in the areas of Flat Review,
    Where Am I, and Say All.
