Hi,
yes..., JAWS costs 1000$, but i'm french and i bought it for 1400€
A free, but less efficient, screenreades is NVDA.

1) i have tried the ressources.Xrc.
CodeBlock start correctly, but when i click on "Compiler & debug" menu, it Crash...

2) for the settings windows
I'm confused because i did not found the use of Control+Tab.
 But, generaly Control+Tab is only used to move in panel control...
Like this, it's not very pratical but usable.

3) For the project windows
Simply, i think you can use the F2 and Shift+F2 toogle display.
  F2 => Display Manager window and set focus on tree.
  F2 => Hide Manger Window and set focus on code editor
But Control+Tab for directly change the setting in ManagerPanel and LogPanel, only when there are the focus respectively.

3) The JAWS methods for reading text
 - sending message to the application
 - using MSAA and iaccessible2
 - and VideoInterceptor, like an OCR on videoscreen.

4) reading Text with application using Scintilla class like NotePad++, SCITE, NotePad2, ...
JAWS read text with videointerceptor but can't read selected text in this application.
WM_GetText reply random text.
I made JAWS Script, with sendmessage, handled to the scintilla object.

5) Reading text in CodeBlock
JAWS read text with videointerceptor but can't read selected text in this application.
WM_GetText always reply "SCIWindow"
SendMessage handled to the "wxWindowClassNR" (Scintilla) object don't reply.


MortenMacFly have said me to test the Scintilla branch.
Could someone give me the runtime or setup for testing it ?
Or, maybe, a codeblock with the last WxScintilla ?

Thanks

Hello All,

I teach an introductory programming class at a community college and have been using Code::Blocks the last two semesters as our development platform.  This term, I have a blind student who uses JAWS as his screen reader, and I wanted to know if there had been any further development on this topic since the last post a year ago.  In trying the software with our adaptive technology specìalist on campus, I think JAWS would do fairly well if there was a keyboard shortcut that would just toggle between the Editor window and the Build Log.  I tried all the usual combinations of keys with TAB, and they pretty much all cycle through the different tabs of the Editor window.

Thanks for all your work on this,
Tim

MortenMacFly:
In recent Code::Blocks builds (aka trunk, not yet in a nightly) i you are hovering with the mouse over a tab in either project manager, logs & others or the editors the tab become activated and would allow to scroll/select between the tabs. This may already been an option for you, hence what's needed is menu entries to focus project manager, the logs and the editors. I'll try to implement this, when I find the time.

MortenMacFly,

Thanks for looking into this issue.  I am not sure how difficult this request would be to implement, but I am thinking that if standard usage is for Alt+Tab to toggle through applications and for Ctrl+Tab to toggle through the tabs/documents of an individual application, then perhaps a combo of Ctrl+Alt+Tab could set the focus to the different panes/windows within Code::Blocks.  If so, Ctrl+Tab can still be used to cycle through the different tabs of that particular pane/window.

Thanks again,
Tim

Ok, here we go with a first trial. You'll find a patch attached that adds two menu entries: One for focussing to the management panels and one for focussing the "Logs and others".

In fact, I wasn't exactly sure what to focus, so it focusses to the active's tab for now. There is an interference with the new feature I had just mentioned previously, so you probably need to turn this off through the options (on Windows, at least).

EDIT:
Cycling with a shortcut might be possible, too. I could do this in a second step after I got feedback on the current implementation.

Please try and talk back here. Thanks!

Ps.: Cycling was actually an easy thing to do, so I did it and updated the patch accordingly. The key combinaton is as suggested: CTRL + ALT + TAB. Please re-download the patch to get its currrent version... if needed.
