Re: [orca-list] Gnome Shell Keyboard Shortcuts?



I am definitely in agreement with everyone: I love using GNOME Shell. I really like Unity as well, but it gets to be kind of frustrating when it comes to magnification. It isn't that bad, but when I read things to the far left of a window I always cause the launcher dock to pop out, and it then cuts off some text. Nevertheless, I really love Unity and GNOME Shell. I have also used KDE (as a magnifier user), and it is also a very great desktop environment. I wish I could use all of them at once, as each of them have many wonderful features.

In any case, I think that this is a wonderful year for Linux accessibility. I still remember using Gnopernicus during my first experience with Linux...I think ti was Fedora Core 5 or six. Without the magnifier which Gnopernicus used (which I think was gnome-mag), I could nto have gone through my Linux classes which were required for my degree.

Things have come a long way since 2005! It is so exciting!

I keep switching among 3 desktops, and can't decide which I like best. Am glad doing so is as easy as editing a little text file. I know, it's supposed to be easier than that, but my login thing hasn't talked since installation.

Yes, it sure has come a long way.  I rather like it, actually and that
was a pleasant surprise.  Seems more comfortable than Unity 2d for me.

Hi, Alex!

I found those areas,and could move around as the docs and you say I
should. I added and removed some favorites, using the context menus. I looked at my wifi hotspots on the 'network' menu, enabled 'shut down' on the 'dave' menu, and was able to navigate the 'battery' menu, though there
seems to be no level indicator visible.  I like the grouping of
multiple windows for an app into that list you can cycle using
'alt+'.  App and window switching is still a bit laggy, probably due
to orca trying to keep up with the previews and 3-d stuff?  Gnome shell
a1y has come a long way since last fall!


cheers,


Dave

If you control alt tab to top pannel and toggle on the activities
button, you should be able to cycle to these areas with control alt
tab.  Don't know of a single keyboard shortcut.

Hi!

I'm giving Gnome shell a try on a Ubuntu 12.04 system, and am looking for
keyboard shortcuts to the dash and favorites.  For example, a single
keystroke to put focus on the dash, and a way to choose a favorite, such as 'super+1', as in Unity-2d. The cheat sheet in the Gnome wiki doesn't
show these.  Maybe they're available using a shell extension?  If so,
where do I get it, and how, in general, do I apply extensions to Gnome
Shell?

Thanks,
