Re: [orca-list] how much has changed in gnome?

Good point.  Here is a link with a list of Gnome keyboard shortcuts.  I think I will bookmark it myself.  
It's quite good, actually:

One clarification, there are shortcuts moving you directly to the applications panel etc, I do not remember 
most of them but win+a goes directly to the application panel, for example, win+m or win+n, not sure, goes to 
notifications...

Hi.

I'll try to be brief and still cover all your questions.  Gnome's 
interface is totally different if you haven't used it in the last 3 or 
4 years.  When you launch it, it takes you to a blank screen from the 
point of view of a blind person.  Sighted people see their wall paper, 
I think.  At home, mine is a picture of the Earth as seen from space.  
Anyway, here's a brief synopsis of how everything
works:

To get the list of installed applications now, you have to hit the 
super key once and then control alt tab twice to the applications 
list.  You have a few regions which seem to have taken the place of 
panels now and are navigable with control alt tab if you don't have 
any vision.  If you have some vision and use a mouse, you just put 
your mouse pointer at different corners of the screen to reveal
them:

+  Activities:  The top menubar with calendar,, accessibility
options and a menu with your name on it which is used for logging off, 
shutting down and modifying settings. +  Messages:
Notification area which, is usually near the bottom of the screen. 
+  Windows:  list of open windows. +  Dash:  List of favorited
applications +  Applications list:  Just what it says.  It's just not 
organized like the old applications menu.  You can install an 
applications menu in the traditional sense using the Gnome tweak tool 
to get the extension you need. +  Overview:  It's like a search panel.  
You can type the first couple of letters of what you want and it will 
find the application for you quickly.  It's what I use the most and 
what comes up immediately when I hit the super key.

At any time, you can control alt tab and see the activities, messages 
and window list areas.  Dash, and applications can only be gotten to 
if you hit super first.

To find your file explorer just hit the super key and type files and 
press enter.  Nautilus should come up then.  I recommend you install 
the Gnome tweak tool so you can customize the look and feel more to 
your liking.  You can turn on a "desktop view" which lets you go to 
different areas of your box like your home directory, any installed 
devices, ETC.  No application shortcuts though.  That's what the dash 
is for.  You really don't even need application shortcuts because if 
you can remember the first few letters of it, just hit the super key 
and type them in.  You ca then use the arrow keys to find the one you 
want and press enter.  Where before you might have had to scroll 
through a list of several, you now only have to pick from two or three 
with this method.

Good luck.  BTW, do you still code in c++?  I remember you from the 
blind programmers list.

0730-500934 Hi. How much things has changed in gnome? Before I had no 
problems at all, but now it barely works at all. I can't find a file 
Explorer, it is very hard to find the lists of applications I have 
installed etc. Then it takes very long to get running. It just says 
screen reader loaded, and then I will have to wait two-3 minutes 
Before something happens. If it happens at all.
