Pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC cycles between top panel, bottom panel, and
desktop. Arrow keys move between icons/controls on each major
desktop component. It can't be much easier than this.

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.

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.
