Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard

2013-04-04 Thread David Chittenden
On the bottom of the keyboard left of the space bar, for any Apple keyboard, 
the buttons are function, control, option, command, space bar. Press and hold 
control and option to tell VO that any other key(s) at the same time gives VO 
commands. The commands are the same as on the Mac.

If your keyboard is Windows rather than Mac, the keys are probably function, 
control, windows, alt, space bar. In this case, I believe Apple maps windows to 
command and alt to option. If this is correct and you have a Windows keyboard, 
the VO keys would be control and alt.

So, the home button is VO h, double-tap is VO space, launching keyboard help is 
VO k, and so forth.

 When VO is not turned on, the keyboard is only used for entering text into 
 edit fields. Just as with the mouse, sighted people overwhelmingly prefer 
 directly interacting with visual icons and images on the touch-screen over 
 working through a less direct keyboardinterface.

 (consumer) focused, people overwhelmingly 
 prefer touch-screen direct access and manipulation of visual icons. They 
 overwhelmingly report such interfaces are much more natural. Also, errors 
 decrease significantly and productivity increases significantly when 
 touch-screen interfaces are used. These are facts, not speculation or 
 wishful thinking. New academic studies come out very regularly from 
 different sectors which show very similar results.
 
 Now that acceptance and adoption of touch-screen technology has achieved 
 critical mass, touch-screen control interfaces are becoming (and in many 
 sectors have become) less expensive than traditional control interfaces 
 using physical controls such as buttons, switches, knobs, and sliders.
 
 What this means is, the haptics rich environment of physical controls that 
 we blind people prefer is continuing to disappear, and will continue 
 disappearing. As the demand for such control interfaces reduces, costs for 
 said interfaces will rise. This is how the market works.
 
 A sighted friend who always use to carry a bluetooth keyboard with him now 
 does all his typing on his iPhone's onscreen keyboard when he is out. As 
 he told me, once he got use to it, he no longer needs to carry, or worry 
 about, the Bluetooth keyboard.
 
 We all know exceptions, but in general, the overwhelming majority of 
 people studied, from many different groups and countries, prefer the 
 direct influence they receive when utilising touch-screen interfaces.

Ok, step outside what you know. The following has been studied numerous 
times in many fields across the consumer information sectors. It includes 
everything from information kiosks and cash machines in very diverse venues 
to mobile information communication technology of various types and brands.


When the interface is end-user (consumer) focused, people overwhelmingly 
prefer touch-screen direct access and manipulation of visual icons. They 
overwhelmingly report such interfaces are much more natural. Also, errors 
decrease significantly and productivity increases significantly when 
touch-screen interfaces are used. These are facts, not speculation or 
wishful thinking. New academic studies come out very regularly from 
different sectors which show very similar results.


Now that acceptance and adoption of touch-screen technology has achieved 
critical mass, touch-screen control interfaces are becoming (and in many 
sectors have become) less expensive than traditional control interfaces 
using physical controls such as buttons, switches, knobs, and sliders.


What this means is, the haptics rich environment of physical controls that 
we blind people prefer is continuing to disappear, and will continue

said interfaces will rise. This is how the market works.

 the option key, then press command up arrow to move to 
 the start of the document without releasing the shift key, you will end up 
 reversing the selection of the words you started with, and selecting all of 
 your document from your starting point to the beginning of the document. 
 Similarly, when you arrow down from the middle of a line and hold down the 
 shift key, you select all characters from where you started to where you move 
 to in the middle of the next line. On a Mac you can check your selections 
 while you work, but here you can't. For more background details on how these 
 commands work for selection, see my archived post on Moving and Selecting in

 Hi all,
 I just bought the Logitech Tablet Blue Tooth Keyboard from Best Buy this 
 evening.  It has a great feel.  It was originally designed for the ipad but 
 seems to work with the iPhone 4S just fine.
 Having said that, I don't know where to even begin accessing the homescreen 
 button and cannot seem to click on any icons.  There is a fifteen day money 
 back garentee, if it doesn't work, I can always send it back...
 Thanks for any help you may be able to provide!
 Kindly,
 Kayla K

Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard

 sequences work:
 control a - move to beginning of line
 control e - move to end of line
 control b - move back a character
 control f - move forward a character
 control h - backwards delete a character
 control k - delete to end of line
 control m - insert line feed (blank line)
  
 Selections are slightly tricky, because they are based on your current 
 insertion point, so if you select a few words forward by holding down the 
 shift key and tapping the option key, then press command up arrow to move to 
 the start of the document without releasing the shift key, you will end up 
 reversing the selection of the words you started with, and selecting all of 
 your document from your starting point to the beginning of the document.

Well, I'm not sure I'm following the thread below, but there's nothing 
wrong in requesting a feature. We can't always just accept what's out 
there or things will never change and get better.


I can also see a sighted user using a bluetooth keyboard and not wanting 
to remove their hands from the keyboard to interact with the touch 
screen, so if I understand the point in this thread, it doesn't seem so 
unreasonable to me.

Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard

2013-04-03 Thread David Chittenden
Ok, step outside what you know. The following has been studied numerous times 
in many fields across the consumer information sectors. It includes everything 
from information kiosks and cash machines in very diverse venues to mobile 
information communication technology of various types and brands.

When the interface is end-user (consumer) focused, people overwhelmingly prefer 
touch-screen direct access and manipulation of visual icons. They 
overwhelmingly report such interfaces are much more natural. Also, errors 
decrease significantly and productivity increases significantly when 
touch-screen interfaces are used. These are facts, not speculation or wishful 
thinking. New academic studies come out very regularly from different sectors 
which show very similar results.

Now that acceptance and adoption of touch-screen technology has achieved 
critical mass, touch-screen control interfaces are becoming (and in many 
sectors have become) less expensive than traditional control interfaces using 
physical controls such as buttons, switches, knobs, and sliders.

What this means is, the haptics rich environment of physical controls that we 
blind people prefer is continuing to disappear, and will continue disappearing. 
As the demand for such control interfaces reduces, costs for said interfaces 
will rise. This is how the market works.

A sighted friend who always use to carry a bluetooth keyboard with him now does 
all his typing on his iPhone's onscreen keyboard when he is out. As he told me, 
once he got use to it, he no longer needs to carry, or worry about, the 
Bluetooth keyboard.

We all know exceptions, but in general, the overwhelming majority of people 
studied, from many different groups and countries, prefer the direct influence 
they receive when utilising touch-screen interfaces.

Hi Kayla,

Well, if you use VoiceOver, you will be able to click on icons as others have 
indicated, you just have to make certain that VoiceOver is on, and you need to 
turn on QuickNav with left and right arrows held down at the same time.

 When VO is not turned on, the keyboard is only used for entering text into 
 edit fields. Just as with the mouse, sighted people overwhelmingly prefer 
 directly interacting with visual icons and images on the touch-screen over 
 working through a less direct keyboard interface.

Well, I can't disagree with anything you're saying, and I think you're 
right when it comes to information consumption and inputs of small 
amounts of information, but I don't see information and content 
generation going the way of the tuch screen any time soon. I can't point 
to specific studies, but I assume something must be driving companies 
like Microsoft, Canonical, Motorola and Asus to develop converged 
devices which give you the tablet based touch screen interface when 
you're mobile and a monitor/keyboard centric interface when you're at 
your desk. Maybe this is just a set of transitional products, but I just 
don't ever see programmers, writers, video editors, publishers and so on 
doing their work exclusively on a touch screen. Like I said, I have read 
the thread below, and I'm not sure I follow all of it, but I don't see 
where the person who bought the bluetooth keyboard is just using it when 
they're mobile.

Now that acceptance and adoption of touch-screen technology has achieved

What this means is, the haptics rich environment of physical controls that we 
blind people prefer is continuing to disappear, and will continue disappearing. 
As the demand for such control interfaces reduces, costs for said interfaces 
will rise. This is how the market works.

A sighted friend who always use to carry a bluetooth keyboard with him now does 
all his typing on his iPhone's onscreen keyboard when he is out. As he told me, 
once he got use to it, he no longer needs to carry, or worry about, the 
Bluetooth keyboard.

We all know exceptions, but in general, the overwhelming majority of people 
studied, from many different groups and countries, prefer the direct influence 
they receive when utilising touch-screen interfaces.

You can access home screen icons with a bluetooth keyboard using 
VoiceOver commands as has been documented earlier in this thread. There 
doesn't appear to be a way to do it without VoiceOver, but since 
VoiceOver is available to everyone, here's an article directed at 
sighted users who want to use a bluetooth keyboard and who don't want to 
reach over and touch their iPhone to perform the home screen navigation: 
http://decadentwaste.net/decadentwaste/2011/03/navigate-using-a-bluetooth-keyboard-on-your-ios-device


Feature requests are like questions, the only bad feature request is the 
one that's never asked. Chances are, if you would like this feature, so 
would others. Get it out there and let the market place sort out the rest.

My comments are mainly targeted, in this case, at the thought that sighted 
users of iPhone would rather use keyboard navigation. Save for a very few 
outlyers, this assertion is constantly proven incorrect. 

As for programming and AV, object-oriented programming is primarily mouse 
oriented. Same with high-end AV editing and production.

Well, I'm not sure I'm following the thread below, but there's nothing wrong in 
requesting a feature. We can't always just accept what's out there or things 
will never change and get better.

I can also see a sighted user using a bluetooth keyboard and not wanting to 
remove their hands from the keyboard to interact with the touch screen, so if I 
understand the point in this thread, it doesn't seem so unreasonable to me.

When VO is not turned on, the keyboard is only used for entering
text into edit fields. Just as with the mouse, sighted people
overwhelmingly prefer directly interacting with visual icons and
images on the touch-screen over working through a less direct
keyboard interface.

Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard

2013-04-03 Thread KK2006
Also, what is this control option?  I'm not understanding here, do you mean a 
function key of sorts?  I'm assuming that this is what you mean but if not, 
maybe that's why I'm not getting my bt keyboard to work...

  When VO is active, keyboard commands are available. They use the control 
option (VO) key combination to work.

would still have to use my iPhone home screen to activate icons.
Keep in mind, that some of us are just not as informed.
Now that I know, I will *use what's available.**
