Re: [orca-list] GNOME Shell Dialogs



No, the keys are totally different for shell.  The areas sound and
function similarly to Unity 2d (or, the other way around since unity
is based on shell, I think), but getting to them uses different
keystrokes.  Briefly:

alt f1 shell search:  Type the name of the app you want and it will
find it for you and give you choices of matches.  Use this as a
starting point to navigate the shell.  Use the control alt tab keys to
cycle through the panels such as dash, applicaitons, Windows ETC.
alt f2:  Run command dialog.  Use same as gnome 2.

From anywhere within gnome3:  Control alt tab takes you to top
activity area.  Hitting left and right arrow here lets you navigate
the top menu bar.

This should get you started.  From here, just explore the areas the
way you would explore gnome 2 pannels.

Have fun,
Alex M

So what should I do to get the accessible shell?
Can I access the menus like that in Unity 2D?
Is the top panel also accessible with Orca?
I press alt +f1 to get the launcher menu in Unity and alt + f10 for the
top panel.
Are the keyboard shortcuts similar in gnome shell?
happy hacking.

Last time I tryed gnome shell, Orca did not read those menus.
I had to type in the - pain the name of the application which I wish to
open.
Although typing first few letters of the app would give it to me,
That sounds like the old gnome run dialog; not the gnome-shell run
dialog.

would still be better if we had an accessible launcher menu like that in
Unity 2d.
As far as I am aware, the equivalent of the Unity launcher is the GNOME
Shell Dash. And the GNOME Shell Dash is now accessible.

Take care.
