JAWS: Announcing Indent On A New Line
I sent a message to the JAWS Email list recently about this, but my correspondence with FS itself suggests that this feature is unavailable (!)
In NVDA, you are able to set an option that will tell you how many tabs a line is indented by. Is there such a feature in JAWS?
I've checked out Speech and Sound Schemes but when I use the Visual Studio (Indent) scheme in Visual Studio, I don't hear tab indications. My code uses standard tabbing where each indent is one tab (not two, 4 or 8 spaces as presented in Speech and Sound Schemes.) I see the speech and sound option for one tab is 0.125 inches. Isn't this a "dangerous" implementation since it's based on a hard-coded tab width (which of course doesn't work in VS?)
It cant' be that a screen reader like this doesn't offer the ability to announce tabs, so can someone help me out here? How do I turn on tab announcements? I've recently switched back to JAWS after a few years away from it now that the pricing is more friendly and love what I'm seeing except for this one problem.
How do you Python developers get JAWS to announce your tabbing if you're not using the standard "Python way" to indent your code (IE: using one tab per indent versus 4 spaces?) I figured if anyone can answer this, it's a Python developer.
My question now is that since this feature doesn't exist in JAWS (again, (!)), it looks like if I want it, I'll have to script it. So, will anyone actually find this feature useful, before I embark on this project? Or should I just give up on JAWS again and stick with NVDA (don't worry, I haven't paid for JAWS yet.)
