Comment 4 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 3) on 2013-06-20 09:40 Even otherwise, I feel that providing a keystroke to access the Add-on Manager would be very useful, since in my experience, this dialog is accessed more often than the other dialogues such as General Settings, Voice Settings, Object Presentation, etc., which have been assigned separate keystrokes for easy and direct access.

Does this apply to other Tamil apps as well or just NVDA? If just NVDA, we should probably look into this.
I find that rather concerning. Changing settings might be common for some users, but installing and removing add-ons isn't something that is generally done many times a day. Using keystrokes for these dialogs limits future possibilities for commands that might be used more regularly, so adding new ones needs to be considered with extreme care. |
Comment 6 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 5) on 2013-06-20 14:49 Regarding assigning a keystroke for Add-on Manager, I still feel that this would be very helpful. However, I leave it to the wisdom of the developers. Thanks, Replying to jteh:

Comment 7 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 5) on 2013-06-27 11:29 I would like to highlight another problem in using Tamil keyboard layout. Unlike the English layout, there are several Tamil keyboard layouts in vogue including phonetic keyboard layout. In fact, I have created my own Tamil keyboard layout using the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. Therefore, the Tamil characters are not uniformly placed in the layout. In one layout a key can be pressed without the shift key and in another the shift key needs to be pressed. Therefore, letters cannot be assigned for short-cuts in Tamil interface, since these will not work, if the shift key too has to be pressed to type a character. Thanks, Replying to jteh:

Comment 9 by td.dinakar (in reply to comment 8) on 2013-12-14 06:32 At least a provision can be made in the input gestures dialog for adding keystrokes by those users who require it, if the developers feel that assigning keystrokes for add-ons manager or the input gestures would not be a wise idea. Thanks, Replying to td.dinakar:

Comment 10 by MHameed on 2014-08-27 07:56 Whats the current thinking on this, can we not please reconsider adding an unbound gesture for this, so that for those that need the functionality they can bind it locally. Thanks, |

Since one has to frequently go to the Manage add-ons dialog to add, remove, or update add-ons, it is suggested that a keystroke such as nvda+ctrl+a can be assigned to open the Manage Add-ons dialog quickly.
