Yes, xbrlapi should be run before orca so that orca takes precedence.
This, again, should be solved with the generic preference mecanism we
expect to add soon.

Well, for now maybe it shouldn't indeed.

Control and alt, since they are directly provided by brltty as
modifiers, should work fine.  Here the problem is that brltty doesn't
provide the modifier itself (it actually can't know which one should be
set), hence shifted and altgr-ed keys pose problem indeed: the
XKeysymToKeycode function is unfortunately not very powerful.  I'll dig
a bit more about this.
