Here's one thing about using this hotkey that I observed.
If you use it when you first open the book, it works.
If you try toggling it without moving to a different position in the book,
it doesn't work. At first I was confused because I tried toggling TTS on
and off without moving anywhere and it just wouldn't work for me but if I
toggle it off and say hit a page down or page up, toggling it back on seems
to work every time.
Best,
Rick

Maybe I'm just used to using the other way, lol. I'll have to try it again.
I have been known to hit the wrong thing, Lol.
