Re: [orca-list] punctuation level keystroke I set doesn't seem to work



I'm using espeak, as far as I know.

Hi, Joanie.



1.  I read your message, the one just below.


2.  I used orca-space to get into settings, then right-arrowed to speech settings, then tabbed to punctuation = most.  I hit escape and got out of there.


3.  I pressed control-shift-p.  When I do that, as I did just this second, it says "p punctuation set to all."


4.  I reread a bit of your message. It did not read the comma in "Having said that, ..." It read no other punctuation, either.


5.  I hit orca-space again and went to the punctuation setting. It still said punctuation = most.


Note:  I've bound a couple of other keys, but have only tested control-shift-pageup and control-shift-pagedown, which are to increase and decrease the speech rate.  They work as they should.


I hope this helps, but tell me if you need more testing.

Update: Having pinned down the source of the Shift-related regression, realized that it only happens with Orca+Shift+key; not Ctrl+Shift+key. That, along with reading your message more closely, tells me that my previous suggestion to try without Shift was bogus. Sorry about that!

Having said that, punctuation cycling is working for me as expected. So I'm not sure what's going on in your case. Can you give me very precise steps to reproduce the problem?

Note that changing the punctuation level via keystroke is meant to be very temporary. For instance, imagine you're proofreading a message where the punctuation needs to be perfect. You'd use the command to change the punctuation level, and re-read the message before sending. But as soon as you get into another application, things go back to the default. If you really want to make a permanent change, you should do so not via keystroke, but by setting the value in the Orca preferences dialog, either globally or for the application where you need that setting.

There seems to be a regression in bindings which are rebound and have shift in them. I'll look into this. In the meantime, try a shortcut without Shift to see if this is the same problem for you.

Greetings!


I am using what I think is the latest version of Orca, and also of Slint.


I assigned the key control-shift-p to set punctuation levels for Orca. I did this as a general setting, not specific to any app. When I use the keystroke and am told that the punctuation level is "all," however, I do not get all the punctuation. (I'm not sure what level I'm at for the default.) I have found this when using Bookshare with chrome, in Thunderbird when reading message, and, if memory serves, in a text document (I forget which editor).


Am I missing something I should do?


Thanks!
