Chris: Thank you for the forward. I started down this path a day or two ago, just hoping that I could add input functionality to existing hot keys. Sky has confirmed what I thought I might have to do, but just how tedious is it to manually delete existing settings?
A project for when I am on leave in a couple of weeks. Thank you for the support - still deafening from Gw Micro eh! Vaughan. -----Original Message----- From: Chris H [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 12 March 2013 5:17 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Fwd: Re: Window-Eyes and Braille Support Christopher Hallsworth E-mail and Facebook: [email protected] Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: @christopherh40 Find my blog at challsworth2.wordpress.com -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Window-Eyes and Braille Support Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:12:44 -0700 From: Sky Mundell <[email protected]> To: Chris H <[email protected]> CC: <[email protected]> Hello List. Right now, I am working on the imput for braille displays. When you remove all the functions of the hotkeys for braille that windoweyes ships with. you can put in as many as you want. for example. I mammaged to get all 26 letters of the alphebet as well as comma and the ....sign. Its going to take a while to produce -----Original Message----- From: Chris H Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 6:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Window-Eyes and Braille Support I hate to say this to you all, but the upcoming version of Nvda, 2013.1, which is currently in its first public beta, supports a wide number of Braille displays than previously. Also, it is now possible to input in Computer Braille using Braille displays with a Braille keyboard. I seriously think Gw Micro has some catching up to do in this area. Just my £0.02 worth.
