[nvda] Re: A suggestion with the laptop keyboard layout.

Hello Josef,
Thanksfor this bit of information. I didn't know that some european keyboards lacked left and right bracket keys. Do european keyboards follow the qwerty standard? What are the keys located to the right of the 'p' key? Do you have any suggestions on what other keys we could use for the mouse movement functions? 

Thanks,

Doug

Hallo Doug,
keys "[" and "]" are not a good idea, you do not find them on most european keyboards.

Hello all:
Attached is a new copy of _default_laptop.kbd containing the following changes. 

Doug

NVDA+[=moveMouseToNavigatorObject
NVDA+]=moveNavigatorObjectToMouse
NVDA+;=navigatorObject_currentDimensions
NVDA+'=navigatorObject_where
Control+NVDA+m=activateMouseSettingsDialog
Control+NVDA+o=activateObjectPresentationDialog

I actually may have found at least a temporary work-around for the problem. What I did with mine is substitute the copy which was attached originally here in place of the one I had done--the original desktop layout/laptop layout--and made a couple modifications, after renaming the file as desktop rather than laptop. the first was to take the control+NVDA+o for navigator object where and change it to NVDA+ semicolon, which is far simpler and can also keep the control+NVDA+o for the object presentation dialog. Second, the other conflict mentioned with control+NVDA+m I fixed by changing it to control+NVDA+ apostrophe. so now, instead of control+NVDA+m moving the mouse to the current object, it still activates the mouse settings dialog, and control+NVDA+ apostrophe moves the mouse pointer to the object. That should straighten that mess out. :) so it's possible to still have control+NVDA+o activate the object presentation dialog. Mark

I have attached a new layout combining my laptop plus nvda desktop
layouts. This brings up a question:
In the desktop layout we have a number of keys for activating nvda
settings dialogs. A couple of these keys, Control+NVDA+M,
activateMouseSettingsDialog conflicts with moveMouseToNavigatorObject,
and Control+NVDA+o, activateObjectPresentationDialog conflicts with
navigatorObjectWare. Should we assign these dialogs to keyboard
shortcuts in this combo layout?

Thanks,

Doug





  conflict with Should we assign any of these in the combo layout?
These keyys are listed below.
Control+NVDA+m=activateMouseSettingsDialog
Control+NVDA+o=activateObjectPresentationDialog
