Hi. To keep the subject line shorter, I will try my best to explain what is happening when trying common keystrokes with Window-eyes 8.0 beta 2 under Windows 8.
For example, when I press insert-a, I hear speak all on or off which is what I expect to hear. Yet, when I press the key combination of insert-s regardless of which keyboard I use, I hear speak all on or off as well. So, insert-s won't bring up the system tray. Also, insert-tab won't bring up the list of links on a web page. Now that I have determined that certain Window-eyes keystrokes won't work regardless of which keyboard I use, how do I explain the problem to Dell whose techies are likely not to be knowledgeable about Window-eyes? Aaron tried to explain what could be happening during a phone call, but I couldn't explain what he said if I tried, grin. Anybody care to jump in on this thread? Incidentally, the keyboard that was replaced has a numlock key, but it doesn't have another Windows key. Thanks. Mike M P.S. When I press insert-t, the time is not announced. In fact, I just pressed the insert-t keystroke, and I heard the subject of this message and that the window was normal. I pressed the insert-t keystroke again, and the subject of the message was read and that the window was maximized. I heard the status of the window after I pressed alt-space-x, go figure, grin. .
