Screen Reader Settings: Orca Settings
Note: As mentioned in the installation instructions for Cloud4all's second pilot, Orca has no settings file until you launch it for the first time.
Fedora 16
In the default Orca installation on Gnome 3, Fedora 16, the Orca settings seem to be set in a plain text file.
In Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 17, this file can be found at ~/.local/share/orca/user-settings.conf
(e.g. /home/<user>/.local/share/orca/user-settings.conf
).
Below is a print out of the file. Besides the key bindings listed here, there are a ton more - when overriding defaults, they are set in this file. To see of a full list of the key-bindings, either fire up orca or locate the textfile in which the default keyboard bindings are set.

Fedora 20
Below are the default Orca settings on Fedora 20 with GNOME, i.e. the Orca settings file as it looks after installation:
