Re: keystrokes for gnome menus



Hi Michael,

Please see the GNOME Accessibility Guide at http://www.gnome.org/learn/access-guide/2.14/ and specifically http://www.gnome.org/learn/access-guide/2.14/keynav-0.html for keyboard navigation of the desktop.

Hi Michael,
To open the Gnome main panel menu, the start menu, use alt+f2. Note, if you don't like alt+f2 and later wish to change it to be control+escape it can be done in your Gnome settings. I highly recommend reading the good Gnome documents at gnome.org. It will give you all the hot keys you need to get started in Gnome.

Someone has helped me get Linux running on my compaq laptop and has managed to get Gnopernicus starting after loggin. I know I still have a lot of work to get properly going ie getting a keypad with a USB connection but how do I get to the gnome menus? what I mean is what is the Linux equivalent keystrokes for navigating the desktop ie start menu or whatever? I have Ubuntu Beta of Dapper Drake and Gnopernicus seems to be now coming up after loggin. I would like to at least do some work to familarise myself with the Gnome environment so I will get an idea of the basics? I assume I can't do CTRL escape to get to the different areas of Gnome menus like in XP. I need some basics so I can shut down, loggout or whatever so some information would be useful. I am still a newby to Linux and I can't really ask anyone for help as regards getting out of my system as I live on my own and my family don't know their waqy around Linux.
