Hi David! Caribou currently has single key switch access. although it is incomplete, and buggy. I am right now in the midst of an overhaul in Caribou, but I would love to check back with you later when we refocus efforts on switch access. I don't know of any switch users who are willing to make this work, so I am happy you found this mailing list!
Cheers, Eitan.
