Re: [orca-list] Issues with the keys

Hi Krishnakant,

Over all gnome-shell is fairly accessible. Using the Dash is a bit of a 
pain, but it is doable. You press the super key to bring up the dash and 
if there is an application you want typing the name of the app like 
Firefox into the Dash will give you a list of matching buttons to select 
from. Same for external pen drives, and large storage drives. If you 
know the Volume Label of the drive such as Expansion Drive, for example, 
typing Expansion in the Dash will most likely bring up a button to 
access that drive. Otherwise the rest of Gnome-Shell 3.4 is fairly 
speech friendly.

Obviously it uses Nautilus for the file manager, and as with Unity 
Nautilus is still slower than molasses. When I go to the Dash and type 
Home I get a button to take me to my home directory. From the time I 
press enter on the Home button to the time it actually opens my home 
directory takes anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds. It drives me a bit nuts 
waiting for it to access my drive.

To install Gnome-Shell in Ubuntu simply do
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
and any and all packages you need for Gnome 3.4 will be fetched and 
installed. From there just select Gnome from the Session Options in LightDM.

Cheers!
