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?

Someone made an #interactivefiction player in activitypub that let you play games like Zork over Mastodon. Is it still around? I can't find it anymore. It was super cool.
