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.
