Yes teddy. it does. just move the cursor to the desired menu and click the left button. However, the keyboard accessibility is already great. Cheers! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Octavian Rasnita" <orasnita@xxxxxxxxx>

Does Window Eyes allows to route the mouse cursor to the PC cursor then move 
the mouse cursor in the application, without making Commodo pop up strange
kind of menus?

I've tried to do this with Jaws in order to read the names of the files
which are printed on the tabs titles, but I couldn't do it.
I am asking because other list members told me that Commodo works fine with newer versions of Jaws than 6.0, so I needed to install Jaws 8.0 and try it, but it doesn't work well at all.
If Commodo is not at least as accessible as TextPad which is a great editor, this means that it is not accessible and I don't see any reasons to use it. 

Thanks.

Octavian

Hi. Komodo edit works very nicely with window eyes 6.0. The problems you 
have listed with JFW is non-existent as far as Window Eyes is concerned
because Window eyes has successfully implimented Mozilla accessibility
which is based on the IAccessibility2 model that is being implimented in
mozilla based products such as Firefox and thunderBird.  In fact, I was
pleasantly surprised because Komodo edit worked right out of the box
without me having to create any Window Eyes set files for it.  Cheers!

Things have to be fixed.
I can only comment on using JAWS, but I have found the two most annoying
problems are:

1. Sometimes when I come back from a dialog, JAWS will no longer read the
contents of the currently open file. Sighted people can see the cursor is 
there, and they can see what I type, but JAWS reports nothing.  Actually
Ctrl + Home will say "Top of File" and Ctrl + End will say "Bottom of
File", but It will not read anything else.
Alt Tabbing away, and coming back does nothing.  Ctrl + Shift +  E does
nothing.
Killing JAWS and restarting it does nothing.
If I close the file and reopen it, then it works just fine.
2. I was not successful getting any custom hightlight assignments to work. 
So JAWS will not read any selected text.

You need to use the JAWS cursor to navigate through some of the dialogs,
but that is at least workable, and probably scriptable.  But I don't get
very good class names when using Home Row.  I get good handle values, but
it is clear that JAWS does not show which each window type is.

Hi Rodney,
Are you saying that some things need to be fixed or were fixed?

Thanks.

I know Jim was using/testing it a month or so ago.


Is anyone who uses a screen reader actually using the product?
So far it looks like it would be usable, after a few key things were fixed 
either with JAWS or Komodo Edit.





Thanks.


Rodney
