Veronica,
If you redefine a hotkey, such as Insert-Q, to something else and set
its scope to your active program, then the change will only apply to the
program. As soon as you switch away to another application, the global
definitions take over again, and therefore Inset-Q will resume its
normal function without you having to do anything else.
We can certainly understand the frustration with having to learn a new
way of doing things, but keep in mind that the complicated means of
adjusting global or program-specific settings has been the number one
concern of new Window-Eyes customers. Essentially, when you have
advanced options enabled from under the Help menu, nearly every
Window-Eyes setting can be configured to apply globally (which is the
default) or for a certain program. You will see a toggle scope button
next to each setting; press the spacebar to toggle the scope of the
setting between global and program. Once you are satisfied, change the
setting itself. Keep doing this as you prefer until you have everything
set the way you prefer.
Our Set files are now in a standard XML file format, so you can quite
easily duplicate preferences across multiple files if you choose to do
so. If you have more specific questions, you may also call us when we
open again tomorrow.
Regards,
Steve

Hi everyone!
I think I understand most of the responses I've gotten. I assume that
once I have it sorted out on one computer, I can just copy and paste
the files in the default directory on the new one. That would be great
in one situation. That would assume that I had the same programs
running on all my computers. I don't. So merely copying set files to
another computer wouldn't apply my desired changes to set files that
only exist on the second computer. Text to set would have done this.
Feels like we're not there yet. Am I missing something? Still can't
figure out how to really explore a set file. And I assume that if I
want changes to a specific program, hmmm, still confused here. Let's
say that in this one program I want to redefine read mouse line to
Insert-Q. Originally, globally, this hot key gives battery status. I
hunt around the tree view, find hot keys, then redefine the key,
telling WE that I want it program specific to say, Sonar. Now, what
happens in all the other applications. Do I have to go in and redefine
this hot key for battery status in every other application
individually because it's listed as a program specific hot key or will
all the other programs still use this hot key to give battery status?
As to general comments, if GW really had to make a major change like
this, can someone tell me where this was explained in any detail?
Instead of doing this, now you do that kind of detail. I don't like
the amount of time I've used up trying to discover what I can no
longer do and how to do it now.
Thanks.
