Re: re- getting control alt w to work again
According to Microsoft, a shortcut works once and then the next time just puts focus on the program. However, on many computers we see that the shortcut works all the time, so maybe you want to have two different ones and alternate if one of them stops working. net bat via Talk wrote: > for some reason there are times when the shortcuts do stop working > even though the right keys are defined in the icon properties.; > i think this is a windows 7 problem. > if i change the keys, save the change and go back in and put the w > back in and save the change they will start working again. > > > -Original Message- > From: mcleod stinnett via Talk > Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 8:32 PM > To: talk > Subject: re- getting control alt w to work again > > rite click on you r window eyes desktop shortcut. choose properties, > see if w is listed as the shortcut key > ___ > Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the > author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared. > > For membership options, visit > http://lists.window-eyes.com/options.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com/netbat%40comcast.net. > For subscription options, visit > http://lists.window-eyes.com/listinfo.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > List archives can be found at > http://lists.window-eyes.com/private.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > > ___ > Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author > and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared. > > For membership options, visit > http://lists.window-eyes.com/options.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com/covici%40ccs.covici.com. > For subscription options, visit > http://lists.window-eyes.com/listinfo.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > List archives can be found at > http://lists.window-eyes.com/private.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com -- Your life is like a penny.

RE: re- getting control alt w to work again
Hi, Sounds like Window-eyes is reloading when you hit your alt-number command. What happens if you change the hot key from control-alt-w to something else, perhaps control-alt-e.

I did find that if you go in to the search box in the start menu and type in window eyes when you are on that result, use the context key on the keyboard it is the one key on the right side of the keyboard if you are going from the space bar from left to right it is the third key, or the second key from the control key still referring the right side of the space bar, anyway you hit the context key a menu will pop up and you want to arrow down to where it says to pin to task bar. Then that way you can use the windows key along with the number row to hit for example: windows key the number one. I have done that and that has worked. I even made a short cut for NVDA in that kind of way. I only have two things pinned to the task bar and it is a easy way to go. Hope I could help you out.
