Switching from Desktop to Laptop Keyboard


Lenron
 

Thanks Travis was about to hit up amazon to see if I could find this
one. Woo for a keyboard where I could still get the context key. This
really helps with reaper and a could other programs where in some
cases shift f10 doesn't work.

I adore desktop mode. It's what I started out with so I just stick
with it. Even when I am using a laptop I tend to prefer laptops
with
the full keyboard. These days i hate that a fiar bit of keyboards
have
decided that we don't need the aplications key anymore.

Hi,

Most commands that uses Numpad are shifted to main keyboard
area on
laptop
layout. In a way, the laptop layo8ut commands makes slightly
more
sense
(especially object navigation commands, but that's a bit ahead
of the
story
at the moment).

Speaking of commands, tasks and what not: if I'm not mistaken,
based
on
conversations we had so far, I think you're having a conflict
between
an
important task or two at hand and suddenly being thrusted into
a new
screen
reader world. Am I correct? If yes, I advise focusing more on
the
task at
hand and how to accomplish it using concepts and commands more
than
keyboard
layout.

To others: some of you might say that it is important to teach
people
how to
use screen readers and commands. I'd argue that, sometimes it
is
better to
let people focus on their work more than the technology that
gives
them
access to information on screen. For this reason, a screen
reader
expert (or
a prospective one) must not only become a teacher, but also a
counsellor
willing to listen, diagnose, and offer pragmatic solutions that
fits
the
context at hand. Many expert certification programs (including
the
one
offered by NV Access) tells you how things work and what to do
for
given
situations (or simulations), but they won't teach you how to
become a
good
listener and diagnosing issues beyond the technology they're
teaching;
becoming a good listener and able to recognize, diagnose, and
offer
solutions and advice for issues beyond NVDA takes time to
master (and
even
if we try to teach uniformity, people have different worldviews
within their
minds and souls).

I may need to devote an entire thread regarding what it truly
means
to be an
NVDA expert and influential add-on developer.

Joseph

Am I need to go through a complete learning curve again ( I see
from
the
user's guide that many of the commands are different) or is
there nay
workaround or tips on this?

Not that I have anything against refurbished (the laptop I'm posting from is a factory refurbished HP) but the Logitech K270 at techrabbit is refurbished.

It's one of the Logitech models that has a generously sized context menu key, so it does make it a bit easier to find.

The terrible state of public education has paid huge dividends in ignorance.  Huge.  We now have a country that can be told blatant lies — easily checkable, blatant lies — and I’m not talking about the covert workings of the CIA. When we have a terrorist attack, on September 11, 2001 with 19 men — 15 of them are Saudis — and five minutes later the whole country thinks they’re from Iraq — how can you have faith in the public? This is an easily checkable fact. The whole country is like the O.J. Simpson jurors.

Ok, one more, (I promise, this is the last message)

You can buy it from tech rabbit for $14.99 at:

https://www.techrabbit.com/logitech-k270-wireless-keyboard.html?sku=LOG-K270-BK-B1&condition=271

Never heard of techrabbit, so no idea if they're useful or not, but that's the keyboard I have, and it's a pretty good one.  I've dropped mine several times, and the worst I have to show for it is the fact that I lost the battery cover, so I taped over it so the batteries wouldn't fall out. :)

Apparently, the 820-006477 is the part number, the model number is k270.

Hope this helps.

I adore desktop mode. It's what I started out with so I just stick

decided that we don't need the aplications key anymore.

Hi,

Most commands that uses Numpad are shifted to main keyboard area on
laptop
layout. In a way, the laptop layo8ut commands makes slightly more
sense
(especially object navigation commands, but that's a bit ahead of the
story
at the moment).

Speaking of commands, tasks and what not: if I'm not mistaken, based
on
conversations we had so far, I think you're having a conflict between
an
important task or two at hand and suddenly being thrusted into a new
screen
reader world. Am I correct? If yes, I advise focusing more on the
task at
hand and how to accomplish it using concepts and commands more than
keyboard
layout.

To others: some of you might say that it is important to teach people
how to
use screen readers and commands. I'd argue that, sometimes it is
better to
let people focus on their work more than the technology that gives
them
access to information on screen. For this reason, a screen reader
expert (or
a prospective one) must not only become a teacher, but also a
counsellor
willing to listen, diagnose, and offer pragmatic solutions that fits
the
context at hand. Many expert certification programs (including the
one
offered by NV Access) tells you how things work and what to do for
given
situations (or simulations), but they won't teach you how to become a
good
listener and diagnosing issues beyond the technology they're
teaching;
becoming a good listener and able to recognize, diagnose, and offer
solutions and advice for issues beyond NVDA takes time to master (and
even
if we try to teach uniformity, people have different worldviews
within their
minds and souls).

I may need to devote an entire thread regarding what it truly means
to be an
NVDA expert and influential add-on developer.

Joseph

I have been using NVDA on a laptop that is connected to an external

I need to temporarily travel, and will need to use the native laptop

Am I need to go through a complete learning curve again ( I see from

I'm not sure why that is.  while it may not be as convenient as alt f4, I would think that muscle memory would cause you to land at about the right place after you got used to it.

perhaps you are right, but i have been using my laptop keyboard for a year now and I did not get used.
Finding the f10 key is not as easy as finding applications, since you have so many keys in the same line. Maybe I can use a sticker so that I can touch and find it quickly.

The terrible state of public education has paid huge dividends in ignorance.  Huge.  We now have a country that can be told blatant lies — easily checkable, blatant lies — and I’m not talking about the covert workings of the CIA. When we have a terrorist attack, on September 11, 2001 with 19 men — 15 of them are Saudis — and five minutes later the whole country thinks they’re from Iraq — how can you have faith in the public? This is an easily checkable fact. The whole country is like the O.J. Simpson jurors.

perhaps you are right, but i have been using my laptop keyboard for a year now and I did not get used.
Finding the f10 key is not as easy as finding applications, since you have so many keys in the same line. Maybe I can use a sticker so that I can touch and find it quickly.

decided that we don't need the aplications key anymore.

Hi,

Most commands that uses Numpad are shifted to main keyboard area on
laptop
layout. In a way, the laptop layo8ut commands makes slightly more
sense
(especially object navigation commands, but that's a bit ahead of the
story
at the moment).

Speaking of commands, tasks and what not: if I'm not mistaken, based
on
conversations we had so far, I think you're having a conflict between
an
important task or two at hand and suddenly being thrusted into a new
screen
reader world. Am I correct? If yes, I advise focusing more on the
task at
hand and how to accomplish it using concepts and commands more than
keyboard
layout.

To others: some of you might say that it is important to teach people
how to
use screen readers and commands. I'd argue that, sometimes it is
better to
let people focus on their work more than the technology that gives
them
access to information on screen. For this reason, a screen reader
expert (or
a prospective one) must not only become a teacher, but also a
counsellor
willing to listen, diagnose, and offer pragmatic solutions that fits
the
context at hand. Many expert certification programs (including the
one
offered by NV Access) tells you how things work and what to do for
given
situations (or simulations), but they won't teach you how to become a
good
listener and diagnosing issues beyond the technology they're
teaching;
becoming a good listener and able to recognize, diagnose, and offer
solutions and advice for issues beyond NVDA takes time to master (and
even
if we try to teach uniformity, people have different worldviews
within their
minds and souls).

I may need to devote an entire thread regarding what it truly means
to be an
NVDA expert and influential add-on developer.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hello,



I have been using NVDA on a laptop that is connected to an external

I need to temporarily travel, and will need to use the native laptop
keyboard.



Am I need to go through a complete learning curve again ( I see from
the

reader world. Am I correct? If yes, I advise focusing more on the
task at
hand and how to accomplish it using concepts and commands more than
keyboard
layout.

To others: some of you might say that it is important to teach people
how to
use screen readers and commands. I'd argue that, sometimes it is
better to
let people focus on their work more than the technology that gives
them
access to information on screen. For this reason, a screen reader
expert (or
a prospective one) must not only become a teacher, but also a
counsellor
willing to listen, diagnose, and offer pragmatic solutions that fits
the
context at hand. Many expert certification programs (including the
one
offered by NV Access) tells you how things work and what to do for
given
situations (or simulations), but they won't teach you how to become a
good
listener and diagnosing issues beyond the technology they're
teaching;
becoming a good listener and able to recognize, diagnose, and offer
solutions and advice for issues beyond NVDA takes time to master (and
even
if we try to teach uniformity, people have different worldviews
within their
minds and souls).

I may need to devote an entire thread regarding what it truly means
to be an
NVDA expert and influential add-on developer.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hello,



I have been using NVDA on a laptop that is connected to an external
keyboard.


I need to temporarily travel, and will need to use the native laptop
keyboard.



Am I need to go through a complete learning curve again ( I see from
the
user's guide that many of the commands are different) or is there nay
workaround or tips on this?



Thanks,

I think you are right. To press shift + f10 is really annoying.

I adore desktop mode. It's what I started out with so I just stick

with it. Even when I am using a laptop I tend to prefer laptops with

the full keyboard. These days i hate that a fiar bit of keyboards have

decided that we don't need the aplications key anymore.

Hi,

Most commands that uses Numpad are shifted to main keyboard area on
laptop
layout. In a way, the laptop layo8ut commands makes slightly more
sense
(especially object navigation commands, but that's a bit ahead of the
story
at the moment).

Speaking of commands, tasks and what not: if I'm not mistaken, based
on
conversations we had so far, I think you're having a conflict between
an
important task or two at hand and suddenly being thrusted into a new
screen
reader world. Am I correct? If yes, I advise focusing more on the
