It defines quite a few commands that are specific to browsers (h will
havigate to the next heading, H will navigate to the previous heading, and
so on). For X11 (the Orca part of this isn't yet merged), I have Orca
notifying AT-SPI when it wants to grab or ungrab one of these keys. The
AT-SPI device API is intended to be platform-agnostic from Orca's
perspective; the X11 back end will call XIGrabKeycode and XIUngrabKeycode
as needed.
