Re: [orca-list] Some info on orca

This is a bit different. Unity has the Dash, which does the same thing 
you describe below. The HUD or heads up display let's you get at the 
options in the menu bar for an application. For example, in Thunderbird, 
you could hit the alt key and then type 'move" and find the option to 
move the message you're reading into a folder. Maybe not the best 
example, but you get the idea.
