I tried Gnome on the latest Fedora, and the control center wasn't accessible. Mate's works fine though.

Subject: Re: [orca-list] best desktop for orca on ubuntu 18.04
Hi,
I use 18.04 gnome with Orca. Alt-F2 works as expected just like
Alt-Super-S to toggle Orca on or off.
After starting my laptop I hear Orca speaks a number that is the day of
the month. Then I press Alt-Control-Escape to land on my desktop.
Alt-Control-Tab takes me to the upper-right of the screen where with
Right Arrow I find Activity, Clock, Accessibility and System. When I
land on System I Arrow Down to the options like Volume setting, Wifi,
and Shut down.
On the left bottom of the screen there is a button, Dash, I reach by
pressing the Super key. If I start typing the letter F for Firefox or W
for an url I hear Orca say Firefox and I just press Enter to start Firefox.
Pressing Super-A, Orca says Window, shows me all applications, navigate
with Arrow keys or Tab.
For some sighted users, on their request, I installed gnome2 with
sudo apt install gnome-session-flashback
So they can switch between Metacity (gnome2) and Ubuntu gnome. But soon
they stick at Ubuntu gnome.
