Re: Ubuntu terminal with Orca

On the laptop keyboard layout, the caps-lock key is your Orca key. Use Orca+h to bring up Orca's help mode. Use the Orca key in conjunction with u, i and o to work with lines, j, k and l to work with words and m, ,, and . to work with characters.

Kyle,

THank you for your information. I understand what you are saying to do
but I am actually using a loptop and further more it is a Mac book pro.
I have my hard drive partitioned with Ubuntu on one. I did read about
the flat review so I guess I have to figure out what these commands are
on a laptop keyboard layout. Thanks for your feedback

Orca's flat review functionality is what you need when navigating the
terminal window's output. Hold down the 0 key on the numeric keypad and
press h for help with keys. I will refer to the 0 key on the keypad as
Orca in the examples I give here. The functions I find most useful are
Orca+keypad-7 to go to the top of the window, Orca+keypad-9 to go to the
bottom of the window, keypad-7, 8 and 9 to review by line, keypad 4, 5
and 6 to review by word and keypad-1, 2 and 3 to review by character. I
also make frequent use of the keypad-/ key to emulate a click of the
left mouse button and the keypad-* key to emulate clicking the right
mouse button. Note that many of these functions are somewhat similar to
other screen readers you may have used in the past, the feature just has
a different name, and some of the key combinations are different. Hope
this helps you get started. Good luck, and God bless.
