[orca-list] Function keys [was "Re: No freaking wonder I couldn't get to the menu bar."]



ON HP laptops you can go into the BIOS and disable action keys. This will cause your function keys to behave like traditional function keys.

I totally forgot that HP did something really really stupid with their keyboards internally. So, on my laptop, I gotta hit FN+F10, as F10 does something hardware wise. I have no earthly idea what though. I'll have to use Be My Eyes and have someone tell me.
 
In Gnhome 3, it's working now, although I'm finding many many apps with no menu bar. I also tried Rhythmbox, and it's apparently got nothing. I guess, how do I deal with that, if there's no menu bar, then what's the next best stratigy to take? Would you then just tab around the window, or is there even a better methodology?
 
Also, can someone better explain what that menu for the application is up in the top panel just to the right of the activity overview? I guess I'm not understanding the difference in that, vs. a menu bar, vs. what things like GEdit have?
 
I guess we have 3 different type things going on here. Hopefully someone can better clear this up.
 
Chris.
