So, last night, I tried using my NLS EReader as a Braille display without any speech. And, um, does no screen reader have modifier keys set? I looked through (some) of the JAWS keyboard manager, and NVDA's documentation, and found no alt, Windows, Control, Insert... That's kinda strange. Anyway I'm sure I'm missing something.
@pixelate I believe you'll have to set those up yourself in input jestures.
@pixelate @Blobsta @dhamlinmusic If you have the Humanware NLS eReader, there are default keys set you can find here: https://download.nvaccess.org/documentation/userGuide.html#HumanWareBrailliant
If you have the Zoomax NLS eReader, you initially had to get the driver from the NLS itself. We now have a pull request in the works which will bring support to NVDA directly -https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15863
@NVAccess @Blobsta @dhamlinmusic Oh, thanks! I have the Humanware one, but I'll look again and see if I can find the modifiers.
@pixelate @Blobsta @dhamlinmusic I linked to that section of the user guide - that first table should apply to your device :)
@NVAccess @Blobsta @dhamlinmusic Sorry, I mean holding down the modifier key, like holding down Alt and pressing Tab a few times, then releasing Alt. Stuff like that.
@pixelate @Blobsta @dhamlinmusic Yep so that section of the user guide I linked to has all that... https://download.nvaccess.org/documentation/userGuide.html#HumanWareBrailliant
Alt on its own is space+dot1+dot3+dot4 (space+m)
Tab on its own is: space+dot4+dot6
Alt+tab is space+dot2+dot3+dot4+dot5 (space+t)
And there are a bunch of others listed. You can also customise any of them or add new mappings with input gestures.
