YASR ("Yet Another Screen Reader") is a lightweight, portable screen reader, still being developed. Currently yasr has two sets of keymaps, one for "review mode" (ie, reviewing the screen) and one for the standard mode. When YASR starts, you will be in the standard mode. To change the mode, just press Ctrl-alt-r. It means hold down the Control and alt keys (the left ones), and press the r key. Following is a list of a few keys and their functions that are defined by default. Keys preceeded by [N] can optionally be preceeded by a number. -- Review mode -- spacebar: say review cursor position. ^: move to the first character on the line, and say word. $: move to the last character on the line, and say word. [N]b: say previous character, or move left n characters. [N]c: say character, or move to character n on the line and say it. [N]d: say next character, or move right n characters. e: read from cursor to bottom of screen. f: search for text on the screen. <: search from cursor to top of screen, using the previously-entered search string. >: search from cursor to bottom of screen, using the previously-entered search string. [N]k: move up a line and read the line (currently same as up arrow). [N]l: say current line, or jump to line n and read it. [N]m: move down a line and read the line (currently same as down arrow). n: bypass (send directly to the application). t: read from top to cursor. w: read entire screen. z: move to beginning of previous word and read the word. x: move to beginning of next word and read the word. [N]up arrow: move to previous line and read the line. (tbd -- allow up and down arrow to read a word or character instead of the line if desired). [N]down arrow: move to next line and read the line. [N]left arrow: move back one character and read the character. [N]right arrow: move ahead one character and read the character. (: go to previous paragraph. ): go to next paragraph. `: read the ASCII value of the current character. ** standard mode ** (these keys also work in review mode) ctrl-alt-b: say previous character. ctrl-alt-c: say character. ctrl-alt-d: say word. ctrl-alt-e: read cursor to bottom of screen. ctrl-alt-i: reinitialize the synthesizer. ctrl-alt-k: say previous line. ctrl-alt-l: read line. ctrl-alt-r: toggle review mode. ctrl-alt-t: read top to cursor. ctrl-alt-w: read entire screen. ctrl-alt-x: silence speech. Pressing ctrl-alt-x a second time will start speech again, for example. alt-enter: disable yasr. Yasr is silent and ignores all keys when disabled. Press again to re-enable. Note: this key is defined in the [options] section as "DisableKey". Suggestions, patches, etc. welcome. -Michael P. Gorse
