    <item>
    <p>Press <key>Super</key>+<key>Alt</key>+<key>S</key>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
  
  <p>Or to start <app>Orca</app> using a mouse and keyboard:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and

    <p>I'd like this page to have more on how to start Orca, then pass
    off to the Orca help for more information.</p>
