Unfortunately, you need to modify the source code to introduce this feature.

Comment 2 by Agent Golder on 2009-11-07 14:44
So can you modify it for me?

Hi Jamie/Mick,

When one of you have some time could you please outline what is outstanding for this ticket?
We have users that need access to the dialog, but NVDA does not provide this at the moment, so an addon has been written. I really would like to see this addressed in NVDA directly, partly because it adds considerable overhead to administer/translate an addon in comparison with the required functionality.

I understand that it is a judgement call for what we think people might need quick access to.
Consider a multilingual person wanting to quickly switch between multiple braille input tables or some other setting in this dialog.
We should not discriminate between dialogs, either they all have shortcut keys, or none of them should.
Maybe a reasonable compromize would be to add an unbound gesture, and for those that need it they can assign it accordingly.

Thanks,
Mesar

Replying to MHameed:

Actually, I didn't realise a patch had been provided. My only concern is the key. I understand it's trying to conform with the NVDA+control+ prefix shared by all other dialog shortcuts, but braille should be easy to remember and x isn't. Perhaps NVDA+control+shift+b?

I understand that it is a judgement call for what we think people might need quick access to.

For this reason and others, I agree this dialog probably does need a shortcut. Speech dialogs have one after all.

We should not discriminate between dialogs, either they all have shortcut keys, or none of them should.

That's a highly flawed argument. That's like saying that if one function in an application has a shortcut key, all of them should or none of them should. In reality, that is never the case, not least because there simply aren't enough keys for everything to have a shortcut. Shortcut keys are always assigned based on the frequency with which something is likely to need immediate access.

I think since you can assign shortcut keys to all dialog boxes of NVDA, this ticket can be closed using #4898

This is fixed in #4898 indeed. For future refference, it might be good to add that ticket to the blocked by field.
