@nprofile1q... She sounds like a gem.

At my last NFB convention one of my former Metamates finessed me into an evening out with some folks from Vespero, APH, Aira--very high powered group, and then me, sitting in the corner. One of them was talking about how he'd been to Vegas and bet $2000 on a sports team, but forgot he was leaving the next day, his team won but he didn't collect.

I told him to subscribe to my Patreon :-)

I know I'm like five years late on this but the humanware e-reader is legit cool, I couldn't care less about it as a book reader but you can also make it a braille display which it is very good at and can't argue with the price ($0!) I do have to laugh at the vestigial audio controls. The existence of a jack and buttons implies the existence of an audio processor. Why not just.... go all the way with it? But whatever.

Thanks for your contribution! Dickhead.

I have a question for you smart JAWS people.

The keyboard hook is intercepting arrow keys + enter,. I want them to get passed to the application directly. If I press insert+3 the arrows work no problem. I want that behavior but whenever the app window is focused. Like sleep mode, except with speech on.

I was expecting to see something in verbocity/settings center to toggle this, but no dice. That led me to conclude I should package a script with the mod to do this, but the applicable application is unityplayer.dll rather than the name of the specific app. I don't want to ship a config change that changes someone's settings for every unity game! Even if it's probably still a good idea, someone somewhere will code something for JAWS users expecting the keyboard manager to be there and it's not because of me, no thanks, not getting involved. But this leaves me a bit stumped. What should I do instead?
