Re: [orca-list] Documentation for Using Gnome

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I have put gnome keyboard shortcuts into the google search and this is 
the page that displayed as the first result: 
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.12/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en
By reading it I find it verry helpfull and comprehensive so please do 
read it if you are beginning to play with gnome and if you are curious. 
It points to other high quality documentation you can read directly in 
your web browser of choice on whatever device you prefer.
Also gnome help is accessible to a large degree. There are webkit issues 
that make orca fail to render some parts however as you open gnome help 
with orca, activate  the caret browsing  by pressing F7 topic on 
keyboard commands is one of the first links you will be able to see.
Please come on guys show a bit of your attitude toward using your 
enviromment of choice in a profesional life and try to master reading at 
least a bit from this documentation. Feel free to ask for more details 
on your favorite email list on this topic and if you ask appropriate 
questions you will for sure be able to receive helpfull answers.
Gnome 3 is largelly accessible more than for a year there are a lot of 
users who are able to make some good use of it so if you are unsure get 
it for a test drive during the night or on weekends and you will notice 
you can use it day to day the same way you can use ubuntu 12.04 with 
unity 2D and even gnome 2.X you were using before.

Pressing the super key also known as windows key on your keyboard typing 
a few letters of your application or file name of your choice will 
initially show what you might be looking for and this appears to be 
current trend on other platforms as well so if everything else fails you 
will for sure be able to find your stuff this way.

Greetings

Peter
