 <keycap>Alt-F2</keycap> - summons the <emphasis>Run</emphasis> dialog, where you can issue terminal commands with or without parameters. If a file needs to be passed as one of these parameters, use the <guilabel>Run With File</guilabel> button to easily locate the file needed. This dialog also presents an alternate list of known applications which may be easier to navigate for some than the typical <keycap>Alt-F1</keycap> approach.

 Knowing how to interact with common GNOME-standard user controls (such as text boxes, drop-down lists and radio groups) is also essential - review [todo: ulink here] to become familiar with these elements and how to quickly and efficiently navigate them.

+Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by natural continuous pointing gestures. Dasher is a competitive text-entry system wherever a full-size keyboard cannot be used - for example on a palmtop or wearable computer, or when operating any computer one-handed (by joystick, touchscreen or mouse) or zero-handed (eg, by head-mouse or eye-tracker).

 [Orca may later employ a fully scrollable window (with both vertical and horizontal scroll bars) or the GNOME Desktop itself may add this windowing feature (perhaps by panelizing all child controls). This particular window behavior is currently developer-dependent.]

 <para>
 The GUI configuration dialog is made up of several sections, each denoted by a notebook tab at the top of the dialog. These tabs can be navigated with the left/right arrow keys when the tabstrip has focus. Press the down arrow or <keycap>Tab</keycap> to move from the tabstrip into the options area for the currently highlighted tab/section. To return to the tabstrip, use <keycap>Shift-Tab</keycap> until the tabstrip is selected again.

 <emphasis>Keyboard Layout</emphasis> - this radio group offers two mutually-exclusive options for indicating which keyboard layout applies to you: Desktop or Laptop. To quickly access <application>Orca</application> functions an "Orca modifier key" is used as a shift-type key, to be used in conjunction with other keys meaningful to <application>Orca</application>. This modifier (also called a system, shift or host key) is the <keycap>Insert</keycap> key for the Desktop layout and the <keycap>Caps Lock</keycap> key for the Laptop layout. For example, to bring up the GUI configuration dialog would require <keycap>Insert + Space</keycap> with the Desktop layout, or <keycap>Caps Lock + Space</keycap> when using the Laptop layout.
