Howdy, Yes, this is actually the way I prefer to do things. In fact, you can even set up something really light, like ratpoison, as your GUI. To make ratpoison more accessible, check out my strychnine package from github: https://github.com/stormdragon2976/strychnine I tend to use alt+control+f1 as my primary terminal, with screen running inside it so I can have multiple applications running in the same terminal. I do irssi for chat, mutt for email, linphonec for sip, and a few more open with just bash prompts in case I want to do something like elinks for browsing, youtube-viewer for videos, etc. If I need the graphical stuff, I just hit alt+control+f7 to jump to ratpoison. Since it is so lite, it jumps nearly instantly. If you dicide to go this route and need help, just let me know. HTH Storm On Thu, Sep 08, 2016 at 09:49:25AM -0300, Fernando Botelho wrote:
Hi everyone,I am trying to help someone with very unusual requirements and the following has come up:On the F123 distro, and just about every other one I have seen, one boots into the graphical user interface and uses the Terminal on occasion.My question is: is it just as easy and practical for someone to boot into the command line, use it with SpeakUp most of the time, and then open Gnome or Mate and use it with Orca for specific tasks? Would switching back and forth be as smooth as it is to jump into the Terminal from Gnome?Thanks, Fernando _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html Log bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.org
