Re: [orca-list] Issues with the keys

Hi Simon,

Sure. You need to look at the Gnome Shell FAQ. It lists a number of hot 
keys for navigating the shell. Although, you'll find most of them 
familiar already.

For example, alt+control+tab switches between the areas of the screen 
that are visible such as the desktop, top panel, and so on.  Alt+tab 
switches between windows, alt+f4 closes a window, alt+f1 or the super 
key open the Dash, alt+f2 opens run, alt+control+left moves left one 
workspace, alt+control+right moves right one workspace, etc. All pretty 
standard stuff here.

However, as for it solving the issues with your keys I'm not so sure 
about that. For a while it seemed to be alright, but after I rebooted 
yesterday Gnome-Shell weirded out just like Unity 2D and I lost the 
ability to close windows with alt+f4, alt+tab between windows, etc. So I 
think there is something wrong with a shared component that handles 
keyboard input for all Gnome based shells and apps.

Cheers!
