This beta includes bug fixes, support for laptops, and a Hotkey Help dialog, Insert-H. Revised Documentation is below.
Updating to the latest Homer Shared Object is required. I have also posted maintenance updates for Delete Strokes and IE Max. Jamal Homer Layout 0.992 beta August 17, 2008 Copyright 2008 by Jamal Mazrui LGPL license Contents Introduction Focus and Browse Modes Mouse Mode Browse Mode Laptop Keys ---------- Introduction Homer Layout is implemented by a global script, as well as set file changes made by the Text2Set utility, which is run each time a new version of the script is loaded. It is intended for screen reader users who anticipate using both Window-Eyes and JAWS on a regular basis, depending on the situation, and would like a consistent keyboard interface between them. The current layout draws heavily from JAWS, yet also incorporates functionality unique to Window-Eyes. Some of that Window-Eyes functionality, moreover, is not available in its default keyboard layout. To activate the Window-Eyes Control Panel, press Insert-W. To restore the default layout, choose that option from the Keyboard menu, and unload the HomerLayout.vbs script. You may also leave the script running and switch between the layouts using Control-Insert-D for Default Layout or Control-Insert-H for Homer Layout. These two keys of the script are configurable via the HotKey Manager option in the Help dialog. The RemapCapsLock package may make either layout easier to use on a laptop. The Restore Default Sets package may be used to completely restore all settings to their factory defaults. Homer Layout has three modes of operation corresponding to whether the active cursor is in focus, mouse, or browse mode. In general, the same keys for navigation and reading are used in each. The Numpad-+ key turns focus mode on, which is the default orientation relative to the cursor with keyboard focus. Numpad-- turns on mouse mode, an orientation relative to the mouse pointer. If repeated, it toggles between the mouse pointer and WE cursor, which has the flexibility of mouse movement without possible side effects or the ability to click. Browse mode occurs automatically in certain applications, e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox. Other script packages that may add to this layout include the following: Alternate Menu, Append to Clipboard, Capture Screen, Jump to Item, Paste Special Character, Recent Paths, Run at Cursor, Set Checkbox, Script Manager, Script Menu , Select Text, Toggle Punctuation , and WE Actions. The sections below list commands and key assignments of Homer Layout -- including laptop ones intended to work with CapsLock remapped as another Insert key. The Hotkey help command, Insert-H, presents a dialog with buttons that let you pick a command to execute, review this documentation in the default web browser, or invoke the standard help dialog (the one available via Script Manager).
