Re: [orca-list] orca gnome3 and archlinux

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

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
