Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?
Hi tom, That's really funny you say that because when it comes to me entering in my credit card number I never even think about the number pad. I just type it in with the numbers across the top. I hardly give the number pad a glance. Weird really considering logically it would be far quicker to do it that way. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: 02 April 2015 10:19 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?

Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?
Most laptops have an option like hold the windows key and the right side of the keyboard becomes a numberpad (I know Toshiba do), however it's not an option I use myself as I said sinse I'm actually more used to living without the pad, still it should be there on most laptops if you want it.

Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?
I would never use the numberpad myself. For most of my time through school, I always used laptops which didn't have the numberpad. Then, when I actually got a desktop, I found it better to use supernova's default numberpad layout for commands than the function key layout I'd been using sinse then I no longer had to keep turning the keys off to use the f keys in prorams. so, it actualy seems weerd to me to use the numberpad for anything that is not a control in a program, since I've had laptops without it, or if I'm on a desktop, that is where all my supernova keys are. It felt very od in terraformers having to use the numberpad to add the sounds for those puzzles. Beware the Grue!

[Audyssey] xbox accessibility?
Weighing in on the typing issue, I agree with both Tim and Dark. One point that must be made though is that touch typing really needs a physical keyboard, not just a virtual keyboard. Correct finger positioning is necessary and without tactile clues, it is difficult to do. Since keyboards can be used with tablets, someone can touch type, using a keyboard on a tablet. I am a touch typist and have to hunt and peck on a virtual keyboard, which is where this whole discussion started - i.e. are we moving away from desktops. Perhaps a Surface Pro type of device is an example of the direction that we are going?

Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?
Hi eleanor. That is precisely why the first device I bought for my Iphone the day I got it (well after a sturdy case), was a bluetooth keyboard, although as I said I frequently wind up using dictation or flicking through the on screen keyboard because unfortunately the keyboard is a bit large to carry around with me so I only use it at my flat. I agree keyboards will stay for typing speed if nothing else, however my point was more about the fact that as typing becomes sort of a specialist professional thing things like keyboard shortcuts in programs are falling off, and we'll likely end up with a situation where keyboards just! are used for typing and most control will be touch screen controls, or possibly dictation which will have it's own set of access issues and requirements in the future.

Weighing in on the typing issue, I agree with both Tim and Dark. One point that must be made though is that touch typing really needs a physical keyboard, not just a virtual keyboard. Correct finger positioning is necessary and without tactile clues, it is difficult to do. Since keyboards can be used with tablets, someone can touch type, using a keyboard on a tablet. I am a touch typist and have to hunt and peck on a virtual keyboard, which is where this whole discussion started - i.e. are we moving away from desktops. Perhaps a Surface Pro type of device is an example of the direction that we are going?
