I selected text in Notepad and Word, and Window-Eyes beta 3 voiced the text as I selected it. I used Shift down arrow and shift right and left arrow. When I shift-down arrowed, WE spoke the selected line of text, followed by the word selected. When I shift right arrowed, WE spoke the character, followed by the word selected. When I shift left arrowed, WE spoke the character, folowwed by the word unselected. Same thing with control shift right and left arrow.
As far as speaking copy, cut, or paste. I thought that was a function of the key label dictionary. In my case, in Word, I have the keyboard voice off, so copy, cut, and paste are not spoken. But when I turn keyboard voice on, WE does speak those commands. I did just learn a valueable lesson about selecting text in IE 11 using the F8 selection method. I went on the wikipedia web page and searched for cessna 402. On the page somewhere is the following text: All seats are easily removable so that the aircraft can be used in an all-cargo configuration. The first time I made my selection, I Control-right arrowed through the sentence to the word "configuration." When I pasted the text, I got the following: All seats are easily removable so that the aircraft can be used in an all-cargo c I just learned that I have to finish up selecting text by right arrowing to the period at the end of the sentence in order to get the whole sentence. Just thought I'd mention that. Come to think of it, I believe Jeremy Curry did the same thing in the guess what series dealing with the new Window-Eyes browse mode. That stuff is easy to forget when you've been doing things a certain way for years. <shrug>. -----Original Message----- From: net bat [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2015 12:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: bring back speech to the normal windows copy and paste commands. it might work in notepad. but not from a web page where i want to copy from and paste into notepad. the f8 commands only work if the program you are pasteing into also uses browse mode. notepad and wordpad are not one of them.; and the windows copy and paste commands work but there is no speech anymore to tell you where you are. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2015 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: bring back speech to the normal windows copy and paste commands. The shift selection keys still work in Notepad with Window-Eyes nine. Try them for yourselves, folks.

I second that motion! this F-8 don't work for me either. I need and want all Window commands to work in all programs! ----- Original Message ----- From: "net bat" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 05, 2015 9:20 AM Subject: bring back speech to the normal windows copy and paste commands. please, add back the option to use the normal windows copy and paste commands with speech. at least this has, and is still working. the f8 commands has never worked for me. i can press f8 at the beginning and end of the text i want and use copy to clipboard till the cows comes home and it has never worked with my win7 64 bit computer. right now i am just trying the f8 commands with notepad. it will only paste the first line of text, if it even does that. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Blair Sent: Monday, January 05, 2015 6:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: WE Beta 3 - Selecting text in XML Copy I am using the free program XML Copy to edit XML and XML Schema files. When selecting text (using the shift and arrow keys) the text being selected is not spoken. This makes it difficult to select text. I know the text is being selected since I have some vision and copy does work. System details: Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit ZoomText 10.0x WE Beta 3 (same in Beta 2) If this is a problem with the actual program, does anyone know of a better smart XML editor?
