<title>Commands for Controlling <app>Orca</app></title>
<p>
The following commands can be used to get into <app>Orca</app>'s
Preferences dialogs, toggle <app>Orca</app> on and off, and bypass
<app>Orca</app> commands to avoid shortcut conflicts within the
application being accessed.
</p>

<p>
Toggle <app>Orca</app> on and off in GNOME:
<keyseq><key>Super</key><key>Alt</key><key>S</key></keyseq>.
</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>
If you are using <app>Orca</app> in another desktop environment in which
there is no command to toggle <app>Orca</app> on and off, you may find the
command to quit <app>Orca</app> helpful. This command is unbound by default.
Please see <link xref="howto_key_bindings">Modifying Keybindings</link> for
information on how to bind unbound commands.
