Re: [orca-list] orca gnome3 and archlinux



Hello,
Just a little addendum to this.
If you would like to see your apps you can press super+a from anywhere.
You will get a grid of icons. By default it will display most frequently used apps. On my system it displays 17 apps in three rows where first two rows list six apps from left to right and the third one displays five remaining apps from left to right. Below this frequently used apps overview there are two more icons saying all apps and frequently used apps. Pressing one of these changes the grid view accordingly. You can navigate using all four arrow keys in this view and you can activate the icons with enter key.

I remember sometimes a while ago Dave Hunt has written an excelent wiki article explaining how gnome shell is organized pointing differences from gnome 2 and outlining how to use it with orca running however I can no longer find that article. I will try to look up something similar as I think something like this might help you.

Greetings

Peter

I think the main problem is the fact that GNOME 3.x is very different
from GNOME 2.x. For example, alt+f1 puts you in an overview window,
where you can search for applications, files, settings controls, etc.
If you are new to the GNOME 3.x experience, then you may find it a bit
daunting. For an experience that is much more like the older but more
familiar GNOME 2.x, try installing MATE.

sudo pacman -S mate mate-extra

should get you going at this point. Once that's installed, just choose
MATE from GDM's session menu, since you already have GDM from when you
installed GNOME. Then just hit the Orca shortcut key, alt+super+s,
which should get you up and talking. Hope this helps.
