This section describes the usage of Orca.
When you run Orca for the first time, the application automatically opens in setup mode. If you want to run setup at a later point, execute the --setup option the next time you run Orca. While Orca is running, you can press Insert+Spacebar to open the Orca Configuration GUI.
Orca's Configuration GUI also has an option to let you indicate that Orca should be started automatically when you log in. For more information about the Orca's graphical user interface, see Orca Configuration GUI.
Run Orca by typing the orca command in a terminal session window.
You can run Orca from a virtual console window if you do not yet have access to the GUI.
If the GUI is installed, press Alt+F2 or Meta+R. In the Run dialog, type orca (followed by any of the optional parameters) and press Return.
Orca automatically enters the text setup mode if you run it from a virtual console window.
Press Insert+Q in the desktop mode or CapsLock+Q in the laptop layout mode, to quit Orca.
A confirmation dialog appears.
Select Quit to close Orca.
If the system does not respond, you can perform any one of the following:
Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a virtual console and enter orca --quit command. Then, press Alt+F7 to get back to the desktop. This procedure kills the Orca process and reclaims system resources. You can then restart Orca by using the previously outlined methods.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to end your login session and get back to the graphical login prompt.
