Hotkey/shortcut to toggle accessibility mode/high contrast

Post by gcn »

Hi there,

the change log for version 2.0.0041.3 release - 03-03-2009 says "Added customizable command for switching accessibility options." but I can't figure out how to do it. I can't see it via Customize Toolbars --> Commands.

Could somebody walk me through it?

Thanks!

G

Hi G,

thanks for the posting. It appears you posted the same question twice, probably because you didn't see it needed approval being your first posting. I deleted the second one, hope that's OK with you.

I must confess that this is before my time with Tracker and I'm not entirely sure either. I am assuming you want to easily switch between different accessibility options, maybe with a keyboard short cut(s) switch between different settings like switching a profile?

Or is it something else you are looking to do?

Paul
Best regards

No, that's exactly it. For instance, I would like to switch between the page color override with white text on black background for general reading and normal (not overridden) mode using a shortcut.

Cheers!

Thanks for that gcn,
Added customizable command for switching accessibility options.
specifically refers to the check box in Edit --> Preferences --> Accessibility --> Override Document Colors
It will allow you to turn on or off, using a keyboard shortcut, what ever accessibility options you have set up so I think this is exactly what you are looking for.

Find it in Customize Toolbars --> Commands [tab] --> View [category] --> Override Document Colors [Commands]

By default it is set to Ctrl+Shift+6
