Re: speaking commands

David Griffith #74927 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. David Griffith David Griffith Sent from Mail for Windows 10 toggle quoted messageShow quoted text From: Rui Fontes Sent: 24 June 2020 01:28 To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: Re: [nvda] speaking commands 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...

If anyone has new ideas, then do, please comment on that issue. Quentin.

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 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!
