Re: [orca-list] Orca and Ubuntu

[David Hunt <dahunt posteo de>]

You can quickly switch among running apps in Unity by using the super 
key + numbers, once you know the order in which they appear in the 
launcher.  You can get this list by using 'alt+f1' and moving among the 
listed items.  What's more, you can lock your favorites to the launcher; 
to do this, use the right arrow to open a context menu, on which one of 
the options is 'lock to launcher'.


HTH,
