The networking panel and such is the "top panel." You have to go to the bottum panel and press alt+shift+tab to get to the top panel. How Mate got the reputation as "most accessible desktop" is a bit beyond me because of this glaring issue that took me a good half hour on IRC to figure out. This using Slint Linux, which doesn't have Gnome.

Sounds easy enough. Yeah the equities overview was the only thing that I got stuck on, the top bar is pretty usable. But I can agree with you on mate, that it does act more like a traditional desktop. But for as long as I can remember, I've always played hell with the panels, the bottom panel becomes inaccessible at some point, the icons for networking Etc strangely just up and disappeared. So I said whatever, and for now, I'm sticking with gnome, but I do like both. On January 10, 2019 12:26:23 PM CST, Andy Borka via orca-list < orca-list gnome org> wrote:
To navigate the activities window, press and hold CTRL+ALT and
then press TAB. It should cycle you between the dash (favorite
applications), search, all apps, and something else I can't quite
remember. To navigate the apps in the favorites or all apps view,
just use the arrow keys, then press RETURN on the app you want to
use. If you want to add an app to your favorites, press the
WINDOWS or SUPER key, type enough of the app's name to find it in
the search results, right click on it with Orca's mouse key
shortcuts, then press RETURN on add to favorites. If you want to
directly access the all apps screen of the activities overview,
press WINDOWS(SUPER)+A and navigate as above.
To access the Gnome main menu, cycle to the top bar with
CTRL+ALT+TAB. Then use the arrow keys to navigate the menu system.
In the system menu, many items such as your account name,
wifi/network, and vpn are expandable/collapsible menu items. The
desktop itself is not a list of icons, but a list of open windows
and workspaces. I rather use Mate because it resembles a typical
desktop environment.

Hello, so I've installed the Gnome desktop environment on Debian,
originally I was using mate, but I'm having a bit of a conflict I
guess you could call it. The only issue I've seen with gnome, is
the activities overview is inaccessible, unless you actually start
typing and search for what you want, the menus that I gather don't
speak with Orca. The reason I chose it over mate, was mates very
inconsistent panels, there have been times on certain machines
where only the bottom panel was shown, and that was well
inaccessible at best, other times the bottom and the top panel
show, and work correctly most the time. I'm wondering, using
gnome, is there a way to make the activities overview and such
accessible? Since obviously you can't get to the desktop
environment with Control Alt tab or control tab, it's a bit
different I might add. Just some observations I've noticed. This
is of course using Debian 9.
