Re: [orca-list] Update on Orca problems

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Since the switch to Gnome 3, I can't honestly say I find much use for the
desktop being set to on.  In gnome 2, it was nice because it's where you had
your application launchers.  Now, though, it just seems pointless.  I hit
the super key and just type what I want to pull up and it lets me select it
before I'm even halfway through with typing its name.  If I don't feel like
typing, I use the Dash to arrow up and down and select the apps I used to
select from the desktop.  The same holds true for Unity 2d on my Ubuntu
installations.  

My two cents,
Alex M

Hi,

When no window has focus, it is normal for Orca 3.10 and beyond, to not be
able to respond to the keys.  I suggest activating the desktop, using
gnome-tweak-tool.  There is a tab called 'desktop', with this selected,
check the box "have file manager handle the desktop".  Switch other options
on/off as you please.


HTH,


Dave  Hunt
