I haven't used Gnopernicus regularly for a while now, but I think it is 
something to do with the various layers of functionality that 
Gnopernicus has. For example, a mouse control layer, a magnification 
control layer, a speech configuration layer, etc. I think the idea was 
to keep as many keystrokes as possible on the numpad.

As you and others may have found out, this is hopeless when attempting 
to use Gnopernicus on a laptop. One has to know how to access their 
laptop numpad keys to use Gnopernicus, and then one still has to switch 
back and forth between modes while working.

It would be worth while bringing this up on the gnome-accessibility 
list, as others may have some ideas about all of this.
