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

[Robert Cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

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!
