Re: [orca-list] A couple of questions

Hello,

Depending on what version of Gnome you are running, this isn't 
completely true. Some versions, one has to reset the Ctl + Alt +d key to 
go to desktop. From the archlinux gnome wiki for example:

 "Show Desktop" keyboard shortcut does not work

GNOME developers treated the corresponding binding as bug (see 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643609) due to Minimization 
being deprecated. To show the desktop again assign ALT+STRG+D to the 
following setting:

System Settings --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts --> Navigation --> Hide all 
normal windows.

HTH and there are other work arounds, for example I have no key sequence 
for showing the desktop like Ctl + Alt +d, but instead use the Ctl + Alt 
+ tab sequence that cycles through top bar, desktop, and so on. Might 
help if you let us knowwhat version of Gnome, and what distro they're 
running.
