Get on the top tab bar then use left and right arrows to access the
network panel in mate. But really, that isn't even necessary. Go into
a mate terminal then run nmtui you'll bring up network access. You
arrow down once to activate a connection then hit enter. After that you
get shown your connections. Arrow down to the connection you want and
hit enter and you get asked for the password. Key in the password and
hit enter and the network list shows up again and if you keyed the
correct password in, yours will have a star tacked onto its end. Hit
tab and you're on deactivate and you don't want that. Hit tab once more
and you're on quit and you do want that so hit enter. Then you can exit
the terminal with an exit command and your network should be up and
running.

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.
