Re: [orca-list] Sonar 12.10 is out

Hi,
There is something like the launcher, it's called the top bar, get to it with 'ctrl+alt+tab'. Use the arrows to navigate the bar. Use the enter key to make selection, and 'shift+f10' for a context menu, with items like 'add to favorites'. 
Maybe this page will help you?

Thanks Jonathan,
I wish to know how then can the activities menu be accessed?
And I hope we have some thing like the launcher pane like in Unity 2d
accessible to Orca?
This way the most frequently used aps can be kept handy and can be
started using a shortcut key.
I am not here to discuss what Gnome shell must and must not have, but to
know what all is accessible with Orca if it is available in the first place.
Happy Hacking.

Hello,

To use gnoem-shell you must press the windows key to get to the shell
in gnome. alt f1 brings you to the activities window which I think is
still inaccessible. Also i'm not sure if I wrote in wrong or not but
you must press control and the letter s at log in for orca to come up
at the log in screen. Also in gnome shell is you press alt control and
tab this will bring you to the top panel. But alt f1 doesn't bring you
to the menu like in gnome 2 or like in gnome classic.

Hi Jonathan,
I am really disappointed that I am not able to use the distro.
I downloaded the 64 bit ISo and booted it.
First thing that happened was that it directly booted into Gnome
classic thus did not allow me to choose.
I did a logout and then tryed pressing alt + s more than once, but
Orca did not come up talking at the login prompt.
Never the less, my wife who is sighted did help out by choosing gnome.
When I hit enter on the password prompt, I get Orca speaking after
few seconds.
But unlike classic, here it is just the Orca that speaks.
I pressed alt + f2, nothing is spoken.  I press alt + f1, no response.
Only when the focus is on the Orca window, I here preference, quit
and help buttons.
Kindly tell me what must be wrong.
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.

Hello list,


Sonar version 12.10 is ready for download. This is based of of
Ubuntu 12.10 using classic gnome as the default desktop. But you can
press alt and the letter s for orca to speak at log in and change
the desktop to gnome-shell. Also Libreoffice that comes with Ubuntu
12.10 is replaced with a accessible version of Libreoffice. Here is
a link for the download.
