Show Display Key Shortcuts
Moving right or left with the Navistick will change the status of the checkbox. Pressing the cursor routing
above the checkbox, or tapping the right thumb key B0 will also change the status of the checkbox.
10.3.2 Hotkeys.
The menus and dialogs in VarioUltra contain accelerators, or hotkeys, which allow you to quickly and
easily reach the desired element or item within the dialog or menu.
The default setting is to show the hotkey as a separate letter on the braille display. In the case of the
Settings option, you should see the letters mi (for menu item), the letter s (representing the hotkey), and
the name of the application, which in this case is settings.
The alternative is to highlight the hotkey instead. When this option is selected, a letter within the
application name on the braille display will have dot 8 beneath it. This indicates which letter can be used
as a hotkey. So in the case of Settings, the first letter S will include a dot 8.
To toggle the appearance of hotkeys, go to menu item Settings > Presentation and scroll down to
Hotkeys. Here is what you fill find there:
1. The first line under Hotkeys will either show the default option "Show Braille Hotkeys", or it will
show "Highlight Braille Accelerators". Use the Navistick to toggle left or right between the two
choices.
2. Scroll down a line to set an optional Prefix.
3. Scroll down a line to set an optional Suffix.
4. Scroll down to confirm with OK.
5. Scroll down to confirm with CANCEL.
10.3.3 Templates
The Templates option can be found under menu item Settings > Presentation. Templates allow you to
configure the appearance of menu items, dialog controls, files, and folders. The different parts that
VarioUltra displays are called segments. With templates, it is possible to change the position and order of
these segments, and to configure settings individually or menu items, buttons, checkboxes, textboxes, list
boxes, files, and folders. Changes are applied globally.
There are default settings for each element, and they define the position and order of the displayed
segments, such as the label, hotkey, shortcut command, etc. You can change and save your own
configuration if you wish. If necessary you can restore the default configuration. Your individual
configuration is saved in VarioUltra/USER/Controls.xml
The following subchapters introduce you to the different segment types, and provide instructions for
adjusting the default templates for each. The process to alter the default configuration is the same for all
segment types. The segments include:
Menu item (which appears by default as MI on the braille display)
Button
Checkbox
Textbox
Textbox Read Only
List Box
File
Folder
The settings dialog for each template contains the following controls:
Info field "braille". This shows the selected segments (single element information) and their order
for the braille presentation. To alter the selection or the order, open the assigned edit dialog.
Button "edit". This opens a dialog to alter the selection and order of the segments, which are
shown in the info field "braille".
Button "set to default". This returns the template settings back to default for just this control. It is
not a global restore; changes made to other segments will not be affected.
