What does making orca sticky do? That probably will be useful to know
for future. I did manage to get Fedora to install with root and user
accounts and had to use flat review in configuration screen and at the
bottom of the configuration screen there was an inaudible icon just
above the panel and when I hit enter on that icon, I was able to finish
the remainder of the installation. I also found out that initial gnome
setup program needs lots of accessibility repair; it was usable with
orca but barely. Add accounts screen one could move up and down but had
to hit enter on a selection to have it identify itself and then be able
to add account. Text boxes inside didn't identify themselves as such
either for user-id and password.

Press enter on your command.
Also, in your password widget, have you made Orca sticky in the text
input field? i.e. Orca+A twice in rapid succession.

I could have done that except I found out post-install alt-f2 gnome-terminal
using gnome classic puts me in an enter command box with a close button and
once that close button is hit the command does not execute.
