today I've heard for the first time about the #RigelA open-source screen reader project for #Windows written in #RustLang. Unfortunately only Readme has an English version, all other documents and code comments are in chinese, but the project seems very promising. Use Google Translate or another translator if you, like me, don't speak Chinese. gitcode.net/mzdk100/rigela

@jscholes @Bri yeah funnily enough I've made this mistake when trying to assign target shortcut through alt+enter properties dialog manually even myself to NVDA - only to discover it made the shortcut the tab key. With how it does keyhooking perhaps alt+CTRL got as stuck keys when it launched and didn't unlock, so tab was firing the shortcut. But if it auto-bound to tab key after install, now that's a bit odd for sure.

@Bri Quickly looked into this: I think that as soon as the keyboard hook in the hotkey field detects input, it checks the "shortcut" box, and creates the shell link. That represents a pretty odd design, rather than e.g. allowing you to check the box yourself, specify the hotkey afterwards, and then press OK/Save. On top of that, add the fact that the keyboard hook presumably captures Tab, instead of ignoring it. @menelion
