Re: speaking commands

I agree absolutely – it never made any sense at all to me that people who needed assistance with locating control keys would inevitably also have similar problems locating and using the routine cursor keys.

It seemed a bizarre design assumption from the  first to compel noisy feedback from every push of a cursor key if you wanted to  avail yourself of reassurance with the use of a control key like alt or control etc.

Hello!

 

Have you seen the implementation made by paulber in his add-on NVDAExtensionGlobalPlugin?

 

I have already gave suggestions in this issue.

Reading the issue, most people agree that arrow keys should be treated differently from other command keys...

 

And one of my suggestions have benn backed up by two or three other participants in the issue...

Rui,

 

There has been discussion on this: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6553

 

Much of the issue is that everyone has different ideas on the best way forward for this.  If anyone has new ideas, then do, please comment on that issue.

 

Quentin.

Quentin, have you already tried to work with NVDA in those conditions?

 

NVDA needs, urgently, a way to filter some keypresses from being announced...

 

See issues #5484, #5608 and many more..

If you press NVDA+4, or toggle "Speak command keys" in NVDA's keyboard settings, it will speak keys such as ENTER or CONTROL+S.

 

NVDA doesn't automatically know that CONTROL+S is save, so it generally won't automatically announce that, however if the keystroke brings up something like a save dialog, then that would be announced (for instance the first time you press control+s in a new document in Word).

 

Not directly related to control+s, but there is a "clipspeak" add-on which will report the functions of some keys such as control+c (Copy) and control+v (paste) where they perform those functions: https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/clipspeak.en.html

 

Kind regards

 

Quentin.

I am hoping that sometime soon the NVDA developers will have NVDA speak commands such as “control-save”. I am always in doubt if I have been able to save the file I am working on. Mostly I use the text editor Notepad and very occasionally Wordpad for “RTF” files. Granpa DOS would appreciate all efforts the developers would exert toward making the very basic commands speak!

Cordially yours.

 

Listening for HIS shout!
