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

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Maybe the battery level and wifi strength meters can be like the 
shutdown item (hidden until you hit a key to expose them)?  Or, is it 
better to code them as interactive items, though there would be no 
action associated, in the case of the battery level, and 'disconnect' 
can be the action for the wifi meter?


Better quit rambling while still ahead,


Dave
