Hi Pete:

You can find documentation on Orca at http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/stable/ats-2.html

Keep in mind that we designed flat review as an escape mode for ill-behaved applications. The primary operating mode of Orca is "focus tracking mode", which is where you interact with the application using the built-in keyboard navigation techniques of GNOME (e.g., Tab, Shift+Tab to move between components).

Hope this helps,

Will

I loaded up Ubuntu with Orca recently.  Since I’m still getting used to understanding the Orca speech synthesizer (I’m a JAWS/Eloquence user), I’ve been trying to read as much of the on-line documentation on how to use Orca as possible before I run Ubuntu (or Vinux) much more.
 
I’ve seen references to using Orca with the “flat screen” mode, but I haven’t been able to figure out which keystrokes get into and out of this mode.  I assume that this mode is similar to navigating around the screen using the JAWS cursor so that one can review what is on the screen without the navigation keys affecting what happens.
 
Anyway, is there such a screen review mode with Orca?  If so, how does one pop in and out of this mode?
 
Thanks.
