What Are The Keyboard Shortcuts One Can Use?

Hello,
I have installed the latest version of Zorin on my notebook without any problems, but I have a question. What are the keyboard shortcuts I can use when running Zorin? I am almost completely blind and thus I rely entirely on them when working on PCs. At the moment I can only move around on the desktop, use the orca commands and start a Terminal window using CTRL+Alt+T. From testing I know that F10 on a desktop item Works too, but what else? I have tested both the keyboard shortcuts for the Unity Desktop and those for the Gnome Desktop, but none of them work, because from what I have read, Zorin's desktop is based on a different application.
Thank you for your help.

for zorin core please check:

Thanks for the response, but that's just it. I tried all the keyboard shortcuts listed on that site, but don't seem to do anything. Could it be because I have the ultimate edition? On the other hand, if you say that those shortcuts work in Zorin Core, does it mean that the Core version uses the Unity Desktop found in standard Ubuntu distros?

Nope...
I have tried out the core edition and still nothing. It has to have something to do with Zorin, however, because Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS worked just fine.
Any further suggestions?
