Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu 18.04 + orca, alt+f1 hotkey do not work.



OK, if you go with the super key, then from there, ctrl+tab, eventually, you would land on what I think is called the Dash, it may be called the dock, I don't recall. Basically, here, you used to could dock apps, files, folders, etc, that you use on a regular basis, and could very quickly get to them and open/launch them. Basically, think of it like a place to pin items you often would need within your window that pops up after hitting the super key.

I use Ubuntu and Gnome, and I don't see any issues with the dash, assuming we're referring to the same thing. What issues are you referring to?

Oh, that's because in 16.04, you were using the Unity desktop. I suppose, if you really really want to get that back you could probably install it, but, honestly, why.


Secondly, if you really want the Alt+F1 back, which I don't blame you at all, by the way, then you may want to try Ubuntu-Mate, instead of just plain Ubuntu.


http://www.ubuntu-mate.com


It comes by default with the Mate desktop instead of Gnome 3. Don't get me wrong. Gnome 3 is perfectly 100% accessible, well, OK, fauighn! 99.999%. LOL! The dash doesn't exactly work, or as some would call it, the dock. Not sure it's correct term, but yeah, big whoo. Aside that... I just personally don't prefer Gnome at all, but it's still there, if you really want it. But yeah... for your alt+F1 and such, try the Mate desktop. I'm telling you... you'll swear by it, most likely!

Hi,

In Ubuntu 16.04 Alt+F1 was for Unity.

In 18.04 press super+A to find all applications with Tab or Arrow keys.

Or press Super key and start type the name, for example f for Firefox, Orca will speak the result, you then also can press Tab, and Enter on the one you are looking for.

Hello from Russia!
After upgrading to 18.04 alt + f1 key combination, I can’t see the list of applications and select and launch some applications from this list from this panel.
On version 16.04 and early, everything worked well.
  How can I fix this? Orca speak  word"window" only.
