Hi, Mike (and all), I wanted to give you an update on where we're at getting the Lightbox ready for user testing.
The main issue we've been struggling with is finding a set of keystrokes that the Lightbox can use that is not already in use by JAWS or Window-Eyes. This is turning out to be *exceedingly* difficult, to put it mildly. The current default (which is the arrow keys for navigation, with the CTRL modifier added for actual moving) does not work. We want to not conflict with any of the default keystrokes for these applications. We've given up finding a single set of keys that will work for *both* applications, and are considering different sets of keystrokes. We've identified the combination of I, J, K, and M, with the CTRL modifier, as a possibility for JAWS, but this combination does not work with Window-Eyes. If anyone is familiar enough with JAWS and Window-Eyes to have any suggestions for us for dealing with this issue, we'd love to hear from you. Mike, we're wondering if another direction that might be useful here is a bit of contextual inquiry into how screen reader users currently accomplish reordering tasks similar to the Lightbox (and the Reorderer in general). Do you think you might have some resources to investigate this? -- Anastasia Cheetham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Designer, Fluid Project http://fluidproject.org Adaptive Technology Resource Centre / University of Toronto _______________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list [email protected] http://fluidproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
