Input Gesture Dialog

Glenn / Lenny #92286 Hello, I read through a bunch of the on-line NVDA help pages for how to get to the input gestures dialog. There are dozens and dozens of references with links for it, but nothing on how to access it. I turned on the screen curtain, which is what I want, but I want to assign a shortcut to turn it off if I need to. I turned keyboard help and tried every key I could imagine to see if there was already a keyboard shortcut assigned, but could not find one. I did not get an input gesture dialog when turning it on. This is in windows 10. Thanks for suggestions. Glenn

Gene #92287 It is often more efficient to look through the NVDA menus to find something like this. Remember that you are not dealing with settings, as would generally be defined. Settings are often preferences and that explains why settings is a submenu in preferences. You are not dealing with settings as generally defined. but you are dealing with preferences. It is a preference if you want to redefine a key. So open the `NVBA main menu, then open preferences and down arrow through what is there. You will find it. I would imagine that it could be argued that these are settings, but however you think of them, you will generally find such things looking through menus and submenus. Another example is Manage Add-ons. That is in the tools menu. I hope this discussion saves some or many people time when looking for things.

Jackie #92288 Go to preferences > settings > input gestures. Expand the categories treeview to see the various keys assigned w/right arrow, collapse it w/left. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 1/27/22, Glenn / Lenny <glenn@ervin.email> wrote: Hello, I read through a bunch of the on-line NVDA help pages for how to get to the input gestures dialog.

Jackie #92289 &, btw, if you go to the preferences > help menu > user guide (u) & press enter, then search for input gestures, the link pops up on the screen for you to activate. There's all sorts of info in there, & it's a well-organized, well-thought out document, well worth consulting IMO. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 1/27/22, Jackie via groups.io <abletec=gmail.com@groups.io> wrote: Go to preferences > settings > input gestures.

Gene #92290 I want to point out that I didn't think about all this in detail until the question was asked today. I might look somewhere if I thought something was more likely to be there, but if it wasn't, then I would look other places.

Quentin Christensen #92291 Hi Glenn, I wrote a piece for In-Process just for you when we launched it: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-19th-february-2020/#ScreenCurtain (OK not just for you, but it does address the exact question you are asking). Kind regards Quentin. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Fri, Jan 28, 2022 at 8:55 AM Glenn / Lenny <glenn@...> wrote: Hello, I read through a bunch of the on-line NVDA help pages for how to get to the input gestures dialog.
