[jaws-uk] Re: Key Combinations

Flor,
I don't think you understood me. I meant you use the right hand for the insert and control keys. This leaves your left hand totally free for the I key.

It's not what Operating system you use, it's how productive you are with it.

Some people naturally have small hands, so it'd be a stretch for the
left hand to i.

Control insert I is pretty easy if you use your right hand for insert
and
control (on the right side of the keybord) and your left hand for the I.

Thanks,
Nigel

That's a real wrist-breaker.

Regarding the use of the alt key: Has anybody else noticed that
recent 
versions of JAWS also think that our alt-gr (right alt & ctrl  key) is
'alt'; and not 'ctrl-alt' as JAWS used to know it?  What it is is that
they're taking the English-US keyboard layout as the norm: whereas,
JAWS 
should be taking the correct key designation from whichever keyboard
layout one is actually using at the time.

There's a fairly acrobatic keystroke for registering (or something)
your 
WordPerfect with JAWS, and that is, ctrl-insert-i.

Hi Ian

An interesting question.  It's not only the four key ones that are
contortionist.  I find some of the three key ones pretty
finger-twisting.  The one I've been using recently is the MS Word one
for insert the date, shift+alt+D.  it's just that none of the keys
fall 
into ergonomic simplicity and I have to hold down alt+D with the left
hand, which isn't usual, and the shift with the right.  Once you get
used to it, it becomes easier but it takes some practice.

I reckin we're running out of permutations. It would be interesting
to
hear whether anyone had any ideas about how we might find other ways
of
executing commands other than hotkeys. The old Frank Audiodata used
to
have a dedicated keypad wich could be programmed and you could do a
lot 
more than you can these days without worrying about conflicting with
other MS commands.

Regards ... Scott

 Hello,
 I have had cause in recent days to use the four-key combination to
examine the advanced features of webpage elements and it caused me to
wonder if anyone would like to suggest what they think the most
unreachable JAWS key combination might be. There is no doubt that
Freedom Scientific encourage us to go in for a high degree of manual
contortionism.

 Iain.
