  • 2.a It is working for Ctrl+B/I/U //Bold/Italic/Underline// keys
  • 2.b It is working for Ctrl+b/i/u //Bold/Italic/Underline// keys
  • 3.a It announces //Bold On// or //Bold Off// on press of Ctrl+B

While testing we found a new bug which is tracked in Ticket #3105

Ticket #3105: Key press of Ctrl+B/I/U //Bold/Italic/Underline// in combination to Backspace and Delete, sometimes it announces Ctrl+ On or Ctrl+ Off wrongly.

Comment 13 by jteh on 2013-03-24 23:21
Thanks for your attempt. However, this is not an acceptable solution.

To implement this correctly, you need to find a way to query the state of these toggles in Word, whether by querying the toolbar buttons or something in the document object model. What you've done reflects the formatting of the current review position, which isn't necessarily the same. There is no need to modify anything in the speech module to do this, nor is there any need to duplicate functions from speech in your Word app module. Finally, this doesn't account for the fact that these shortcut keys can apparently be different in different localisations of Word.

Btw, please don't close a ticket as fixed until a fix has been committed.

Hi Mick,
I think you meant increaseDecrease instead of increaseDescrease... And shouldn't winword.py be a window instead of an app module? Thanks.

I've now fixed the typo, thanks for spotting. Though as it was typoed everywhere it was not causing any bad behaviour.
I'm not sure what you mean about appModule instead of a Window. This is source/NVDAObjects/window/winword.py, and theya re definitely NVDAObjects. Perhaps you noticed the incorrect comment at the top of the file which has been there for years? #appModules/winword.py.

Hi all

Is it possible to add the select/unselect all command?
I think this is an important command, and the user can't know when the text is selected or unselected.

Comment 24 by surveyor on 2014-06-11 08:28
I think when outline level set to normal with ctrl+shift+n, it should be anounced too

Comment 29 by Sukil on 2014-06-30 20:23
The problem is that this relies on the shortcut pressed, rather than in the effect of the shortcut. In the Spanish version of word ctrl+b opens the find dialogue and ctrl+i the goto dialogue, for example, and the shortcuts for bold, italic and underline are ctrl+n ctrl+k and ctrl+s, respectively.

Comment 30 by JamaicanUser on 2014-06-30 20:56
the line spacing, as well as heading change with shortcuts and font change with ctrl+>/< should be considered. Finally, this is here!

We're aware of this. Unfortunately, there's no way to detect the effect of the shortcut without binding it to a key. Translators can provide locale specific gesture mappings; e.g. the Spanish translator could unbind control+b and bind reporting of bold to control+n.

Comment 33 by surveyor on 2014-07-03 10:24
Some shortcut keys are also different in Turkish version of MS Office. I can try unbinding and binding related keys in local gestures file But,
what would be the case if the user has MS office in English and NVDA in Turkish interface? I'm, for instance, one of the users of that kind...

Comment 34 by jteh on 2014-07-03 10:55
Unfortunately, that just isn't going to work right now. There might be a way to fix this in the future. However, you're going to hit other problems if you do this anyway (e.g. NVDA messages for Word will be in Turkish even though Word itself is in English), so I don't think it should block the initial implementation of this feature.

Yes, the same issue was already valid for other messages for example message heathers such as From, Subject, Date etc. Even if the user is using windows live mail or outlook in English, the heathers are being read in Turkish. Anyway, it's not a big issue.
Now, I'm playing with gestures.ini file to find the most suitable solution for this gestures question. For now, I've added the bindings used for toggleBold, toggleItalic and toggleUnderline scripts in Turkish version of Word. But I couldn't find a solution for toggleAlignment scripts. To be more explanatory, what should I do to add the
bindings control+k for justified and control+g for right alignment? I could only add one binding for toggleAlignment since all alignment scripts have the same name.

Besides, the binding control+r is used for right alignment in English version, while the same key press is used for centering text in Turkish version of Office.

Replying to surveyor:
I think I've managed adding more than one key binding for toggleAlignment script with the line below:
toggleAlignment = kb:control+d, kb:control+g

Sorry for repeating this, but I wasn't answered. Is it possible to add the select/unselect command?

Comment 39 by jteh (in reply to comment 23) on 2014-07-14 01:16

I think this is an important command, and the user can't know when the text is selected or unselected.

If you're talking about control+a (for English), it already announces that the text is selected.

Comment 40 by blindbhavya on 2014-07-15 10:55
Hi.
NVDA only announces selected text.
But when user presses the arrow keys to unselect everything, NVDA does not say the unselected. text.

Comment 41 by blindbhavya on 2014-07-15 11:03
Hi.
I use NVDA 2014.2 stable so may not know about developments in Master & New.

Comment 42 by surveyor on 2014-07-16 11:34
Braille and speech feedback can also be provided for:
shift+F3, change case of selected text
alt+shift+up or down arrows, move the paragraph up or down.

Replying to surveyor:

shift+F3, change case of selected text

alt+shift+up or down arrows, move the paragraph up or down.

There's not really any useful feedback we can provide for these. They don't have a state we can actually report; they just make a change to the text. All we'd be doing is reporting a static message like "paragraph moved" or "case changed", which is not particularly useful, as it doesn't really inform the user of the exact change.

Comment 44 by blindbhavya on 2014-07-18 13:18
Hi.
On pressing Ctrl + S NVDA should say something likes 'Document Changes Saved' or something similar.
Has this also been implemented?
If it hasn't do you think it should be implemented?

Comment 45 by k_kolev1985 on 2014-07-18 13:28
Hello,

I don't think it is a good idea, unless there is a way to check if the action was really performed or not. Because, the "save" command in MS Word doesn't always use the CTRL+S keystroke. For example, on my Windows 8.1 machine and Office 2013 (both in bulgarian), the keystroke to save is not CTRL+S, but Shift+F12, and I haven't changed - it was set that way by default.

BTW: For some actions in MS Office products, you can set MS Office to use sound feedback. Then you need to download an installer for the soundpack for MS Office, install it, set it (if necessary) in Control Panel -> Sound. Then will have sound feedback for some actions in MS Office, including for the save command. Interestingly enough, that was the way that I've discovered that CTRL+S was not performing the "save" command :).

Strangelly, in my language, Brazilian Portuguese, this information is not provided. Here, the shortcut to select/unselect all is control+t, and when It's pressed, NVDA says nothing.

You'd need to provide a locale specific gesture binding. See #4478, which discusses this same issue for Spanish.
