Hi Kelly. Your problem is that Gnome isn't completely like Windows, so some things are a bit different. For one thing, when you hit alt f1 to access the main menu, the enter key does not open a submenu. You need to use the right arrow key for that. The other thing you might be aware of is that the Gnome desktop typically comes with top and bottom pannels in addition to the standard desktop area. Use control alt tab to cycle between these areas of the screen, and alt tab to move between open applications. This is not a complete list of all the keyboard shortcuts, but should be enough to get you started. Oh yes, the enter key does open an application when it is highlighted in a menu. You rarely have submenus within submenus that require the right arrow a second time, but there are a few instances. Hope this helps.
