Interesting enough. Only one small problem. Some compressed keyboards do not
hold right and left of all keys. For instance, the very keyboard I am using
right now, a Logitech keyboard, does have no right Windows key. In such
cases, if your script or software does rely on the difference as to whether
the right or left key is included in the sequence, what do you do? Just
wondering...

well double clicking keys is non-standard but many programs can and do
dfrencheate between left control right control alt etc. an example is
auto hot key. also if window-eyes had this ability to do so you would
never probably run out of keyboard space because you would be adding a
whole lot of prefixes. lets see left and right control left and right
shift. combos of the four shift control control shift if you added order
etc. you could also do this with the ensert windows alts so you could
even have combos like left right alt left and right windows left and right
controls etc.
caps lock scrole lock aps could also be added. maybe not the aps key but
everything else could. window-eyes could be aggressive with keyboard
hooking like auto hot key so if you assigned a command that windows was
using like lets say left windows r window-eyes would get the command. you
see this method would provide more keyboard combos and be much more
powerful then double clicking keys. also with more keyboard space we
could get rid of brows mode on and off and just use the brows mode
commands with a prefix like caps lock and then when it came time to
interact with the browser you could just issue the normal browser command.
double clicking keys is not going to give you that kind of flexibility
also if window-eyes could have the ability to allow commands to use the
same key when it is pressed more then once. for example left+ctrl+s speak
summery pressing it twice would give you the system tray for example.
this would give you the user even more power. c
of course I am coming from a program that gave me all of these features
not the double control so I guess it is just what your used to.

um why not just have window-eyes be able to assign commands like this to
the
left or right control. so left control t would be the window-eyes
command
and right controll t would do what ever control t does.
Because for many people, its difficult to press control or alt letter
combinations with just one hand. And its also quicker to double tap the
control key and then hit a letter than it is to do a multi-finger combo
for the by-pass key, assuming you remember that combo in the first
place. this way, all you do is remember that you need to double click
the control key if you want to pass that keystroke through to the
application. I was a Winvision user way back when, and this was a nice
feature, simple to remember, requiring no special dexterity etc.
