Question

Quadriplegic seeking more shortcut keys.

Hello There

I am a quadriplegic and struggle to turn pages and access a computer with a mouse.  Your great little program allows me to read my books.  Thank you. 

I do have a problem though.  I use many shortcut keys and find the reading section of the program a couple of shortcuts short. 

For example. .  One can't, to my knowledge, browse one's bookmarks without using the mouse and arrow keys. 

One can't rename bookmarks when they are created.  One can't move across from panel to panel etc. 

Could you please look into this?  It would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks Graham

I am afraid they haven't done a proper job (any job) of help for disabilities, such as providing comprehensive shortcuts for ease of use.

Unfortunately, given the speed and quality of ADE development, I am afraid they are unlikely to any time soon.

There are some things can be done.  I am not saying they are good; but maybe not so bad ....

ctrl-T will toggle the sidebar.

The tab key will move over the various fields.

Tab as far as the Bookmarks header and hit space to see your bookmarks.

Tab some more to go through the bookmarks.

Hit F2 when on a bookmark to rename.

Also, if you have a fairly technical friend, they may be able to set you up some convenient shortcuts

using a program such as AutoHotKeys or Hotkey Master.
