The following is an extract from an email from the developer . I have edited out the download link to protect his copyright. As I am in the last throes of PhD submission I have not had the opportunity to play with this. These are the people who provide the Vturbo add on. Hopefully this will give you enough contact information.
From: Paul Warner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 December 2012 13:05 Subject: Free update: vMouse 1.0.1 Dear Customer, Please find below a link to download the latest version of vMouse for NVDA. This version (1.0.1) includes a bug fix and enhancements as noted below. What's new in version 1.0.1? 1. Version 1.0 contained a bug which prevented a hotspot from being created within a narrow area down the right edge of a window. This prevented, amongst other things, creating a hotspot over the close button of an application. This has now been fixed. 2. vMouse now remembers the mouse position for each application window and will move the pointer to that position if focus is switched to another window and back again. 3. vMouse now preserves the mouse restriction setting invoked by F5 to F8 in Pointer Control Keys mode when switching between applications. This means that if you have restricted the mouse pointer in order to read a small status window, for example, and then switch to a different application where you move the mouse to a different screen location, vMouse will return the mouse back to the status window and reinstate the desired restriction when you return to that application. 4. It has been noticed that there is a conflict between vMouse and the free add-on System Tray List which displays a dialogue showing some of the items in the Windows system tray. vMouse does not prevent this dialogue from being displayed but when you tab to a mouse action button (such as right-click) for a given menu item and press Enter, the proper function is not activated. There is nothing obvious in vMouse's code which would cause the Enter key not to behave normally in these circumstances and the conflict problem might well exist due to something contained in the code for the add-on. For this reason, vMouse has not been amended to take account of this conflict but attention is drawn to the following which should offer an acceptable solution: (1) The mouse action buttons relative to each item listed in the System Tray List dialogue of the add-on are still usable by pressing their associated shortcuts: alt plus l for left click, alt plus d for double click and alt plus r for right click. You will find that this method involves fewer key presses than tabbing to the desired button and pressing Enter. (2) As the developers of the System Tray List point out themselves, their add-on is intended primarily for users of other screen-readers, such as Jaws, who are used to displaying the system tray using insert plus F11. They go on to mention that the standard keyboard method of accessing the Windows system tray is by pressing the Windows key with B. There are good reasons for preferring Windows key B as opposed to the NVDA plus F11 hotkey used by the System Tray List add-on since (a) you can access more system tray items that way, (b) you can take advantage of the system tray customisation features in Windows and (c) there is full keyboard access to the items in the standard system tray by pressing space to select, Enter to double click (which activates the default menu item) and the applications key to simulate a right-click which will bring up the item's shortcut menu. 5. The vMouse user guide available from vMouse's Help submenu has been updated to reflect the enhancements and to offer advice on what to do when confronted with the Windows program compatibility wizard during the installation process. To install the updated version of vMouse, download and extract the vMouseNVDA.zip file using the link below, close vMouse if it is already running, and then run the vmnsetup.exe file found in the extracted folder. This will replace your current version of vMouse and you will not need to uninstall vMouse first before running the new setup file. Please note that any permanent application hotspots you have saved along with vTurbo will not be affected by this update. Please do not hesitate to contact me to report any other bugs or to let me have your comments and suggestions. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith Sent: 15 March 2013 17:55 To: Windows Access; Share Your Enthusiasm! Subject: Re: [Bulk] NVDA Hello David I googled it but came up against a lot of other things but not that. Do you happen to have a web URL for this application?

It might be worth looking at. It is the from the same people who do the Vturbo enhancement for NVDA which also adds functionality. I believe this is also about £2.99. The useful thing about Vturbo is that you can set up application specific settings. So if you have a self voicing application like Kurzweil for example it can save an NVDA setting to automatically turn speech off whilst Kurzweil is running. ======================================= To post to this group, please send your message to: [email protected] The Windows-Access E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit your personalise subscriber options page, located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/windows-access You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Windows-Access forum at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/windows-access/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
