Yes the shortcuts have almost all changed.
I do not have the URLs handy, but There is at least one overview of gnome3s accessability on the gnome site
that I've seen.
In mate most should be the same or similar to what you know from gnome2.

Rob,
Yes I am totally blind, and the image I am creating is intended for both
running as a live cd and/or being installed onto a hard disk.
Perhaps the problem is that I don’t know the shortcut keys for gnome 3.
When I get to the desktop and start orca, I press alt+f1 which used to go
to the gnome menu, but now it just says gnome-shell, and nothing I do
changes what I see/hear (note I am runnig with both speech and Braille
support).
When I build the image with the mate desktop, I have the same results, in
fact I don’t see any differences other than the size of the iso image.
I want ot make this as cpu and memory efficient as possible so I can use
it on virtually any computer I have to use.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Don,
nice to see you on list again.
Gnome 3 is what Orca is developed upon.
What exactly are you finding about Gnome-shell that you feel is not
accessible.
It may be you are not familiar with how to navigate using keyboard
shortcuts?
I am not aware if you are vision impaired or not.
What is the purpose of the build if I may ask, is it intended to be run as
a live image, if so the Mate environment may be a better solution.
Thanks
Rob Whyte

Hello,
I am attempting to build an accessible version of kalilinux (a
derivative of debian jesse).
I have the optio of using gnome, mate, xfce, or lxde as my desktop
manager.
When I build the image with the gnome desktop it is using gnome3 and the
gnome-shell is not very accessible.
If I build with the mate desktop, I got the gnome-shell again.
I haven’t tried either xfce or lxde yet.
My question is which desktop is most usable with orca? I personally
liked the gnome2 desktop and was comfortable with it, but when I
generate the gnome image even if I am able to pick between gnome and
gnome-classic and choose gnome classic it doesn’t seem to make a
difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Donald
