Re: [orca-list] About Ctrl+Alt+Tab switcher contents on GNOME Shell

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I'm bood with the idea of additional hotkeys to open the new areas. 

A separate question here, how do you get gnome shell back? I remember
changing an option in my gnome settings over a year ago to keep gnome
shell out because it was severely broken at the time.  I don't
remember what I did so I'm asking now, what option do you change to go
back to gnome shell.
