F Shortcuts to open specific window, keyboard shortcuts for various things within those windows, and Abbreviated Labels, so you don't need to have the reader running a billion miles an hour.Good observation, cause i did not try demonstrating creating queues or editing them but as you imagine there's lots of tabbing around when doing so, so shortcuts within windows would help!

I keep reflexively wanting to reach for, say, F7, and coming up short when I realize it isn’t available yet :-)

I've a, probably daft, question for you though - when you first load everything up, how do you know where things are? Do you just keep moving around listening to the screen reader until you build up a kind of mental map or...?
I don't know how to do ship or ground combat yet. means that i have lots of things to learn both about mechanics and also where things are and where they're placed in the tab order.

Did you slow down your screen reader just to make the video?

« on: April 17, 2020, 02:12:27 PM »Very interesting. I'm amazed at how you can understand a speaker moving that fast.Oh yeah true, I knew this one but i heard C number from my screen reader so much this week i absolutely forgot about it
I wanted to correct you on something, and I suspect you got this wrong because this is how your screen reader says the word. The language you called "C Number" is actually called "C Sharp". This symbol: "#" is used in music to designate a note as sharp, as opposed to flat, and that's what the name is based on.
