Hi, Ever since I got my new laptop, after I installed the zoom client, I noticed keystrokes are not working, for example, alt a to mute. Is it suppose to work out of the box after installation? Or must I enable something somewhere. Thank you Kimsan Song Kimsansong@...

Re: Brave Book Marks Help Please.
Hi Janet, press control shift O to go to bookmark manager, then tab a few times and press up or down arrow to browse the list of bookmarks. Then, press the delete key to delete the bookmark. I think Chrome also uses the same keystrokes. Hope this helps.
HI Everyone,
I can’t seem to find where to delete a book mark in Brave, as I have several book marks I want to delete, so if someone can tell me how to do this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you all in advance.

Re: Brave Book Marks Help Please.
Open the context menu when you are on the book mark, find delete and press
enter.
It is very often the case that when you are trying to do something in cases
like this, that the context menu is where you do it.
When you get to delete, wait for all material to be read. You will
probably hear that the shortcut is d. That’s what it is in Edge, and they
are both Chrome-based browsers. Once you know the shortcut, you can open
the context menu and type d to carry out the command.

Sorry, I didn't provide the one I got in my previous email.
I bought it directly from hyperdrive last year when it was at a good
price.
I paid for
it for $99 on black friday and I also got a lightning to usb c cable for
free
Its a steal
if you ask me and now its selling $169.
You might
not need so many ports like I do, the one you provide should be alright.
I am quite
sure it will work as I tested this hub on LG Gram and surface pro 6. I don't own
those devices but I used it for my colleague for troubleshooting things
If you are
concerned if it might not work, then go for amazon for money back
guarantee.
I am quite
sure it will work as hyperdrive has a passthrough charging port and the rest,
you can use for your other peripherals through USB A.

Try to get the hyperdrive hub, it supports charging and multiple
ports. Mine comes with an ethernet port as well, and a few usb A, hdmi and
best of all, it comes with an ancient 3.55mm jack for sound.
the main purpose for me to get that hub is meant for my ipad pro but, I
realise i can basically use for all USB C devices including smart
phones, laptops.
Hi All,
I would like to thank all of you for your
input. I spoke to Lenovo tech support to get their opinion and the
final result is the USB type C port on this particular laptop will only
charge another device and not transfer data unless the correct USB Hub was
purchased. Also the USB type C port can be turned on / off through the
Lenovo Vantage app and right now I do have the charging feature turned
off.
Anyways, it's nice to finally know this
ports capabilities and limitations. Again, thank you all for
everything.
Stay safe & take care. Mike.

Unfortunately, it's not the standard which will auto
detect what is connected to the port.
For example in LG Gram, you need to go into LG control
center and toggle charging. when its off, it will do what it will do in
reverse.
for asus and surface pro, that does it automatically
I will connect that drive onto a USB C smartphone and see if
the problem still persists.
and ask the manufacturer if there's a

Perhaps someone else knows. If you should hear a connection
sound regardless of the configuration of the drive, that might answer the
question of whether the cable or the USB port is faulty, though not which
one is.

Hi Pablo,
I don't have any other USB type C
devices to connect, but I believe you hit on the problem. I think
the external SSD drive may not be configured to connect directly via a USB
type C cable. The drive came with a, USB type A male to USB type C
male short little cable that's a piece of crap. The
connectivity sucked, so I bought the type C to type C male cables as a
work around, but I also bought some USB type A male to USB type C female
adaptors that work really well for connecting the SSD drive to either of
my wife's laptops.
These cables are highly rated and
neither of them work on either of her laptops when using the cables by
themselves, but when using the type C cables with the adaptors they work
really well. So, your thought of the problem being a SSD
configuration setting is a good idea. I'll contact the person I
bought the drives from and talk to him about it and see what his thoughts
are. Thank you very much for your input.
Stay safe & take care. Mike.

Mike,
Other possibilities should be cleared up, such as for
example. That the USB C Cable is not working well, or that the External
Hard drive needs to change configurations to be able to connect through a
USB C Port, or that the port of your computer is not configured
correctly.
Connect other 2 different devices through the same USB
C cable you are using.
If this test works, the cable is not the problem.
However, you should try to connect other devices to your computer using
the same USB port you where using before. If the problems repeats. You
already know that there is a problem with your USB C in your computer. If
the problem no appears. It means that the external hard drive needs some
configurations to connect through the USB C port.
Take care,
We
have an LENOVO 81YK IdeaPad running Windows 10 Pro latest, but when I plug
an external drive into the USB type C port nothing happens. I do
mean nothing! I'm using a type C cable that supports both charging
and data transfer, but nothing happens. Below is what I've found
that these USB type C ports are supposed to
do.
Description

USB-C connectors (Thunderbolt 3 compatible) / power

The USB-C connectors on your computer support the latest USB

Well
none of the above happens when I plug my SSD external drive into the type
C port. I can access the SSD external drive if i use a USB type A
male to USB type C female adaptor, but that's the only
way.
Has
anyone ran into an issue like this and have a fix for the no connectivity,
or am I totally misunderstanding the way this USB type C port is
supposed to work?

I forgot to include the link: -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 03, 2021 6:03 PM Subject: Re: [TechTalk] [jfw-users] FW: Avoid Switching to Windows 11 As Long as Possible!! Well, problems are in all new operating systems. the accessibility issues are not excluded from this list. However, regardless of the cons against the operating system. What are the pros? This is my concern. Not the problems because eventually these problems are going to be fix. What are going to be the advantages that could convince users to install Windows 11? This is like the last IO’s updates. No much new. The same thing just a few appearance changes on the surface. And have they tried different configs from different computers? I’d think by now the pitch forks would be out if there were really this many problems across the board. John Advice from a user I believe is technically knowledgeable enough to say this on another list is to wait three months after a new full release of Windows such as Windows 11 comes out. That’s to avoid bugs which haven’t been worked out yet and because there may be areas in which screen-readers don’t work as well for a time. Of course, if people want to have the latest and are willing to put up with potential problems, that’s up to them but I think that is good advice, and I’ve seen similar advice over the years, for people who want to use Windows for getting things done reliably and dependablly and who want to upgrade but who aren’t particularly experimenters and who can wait to get the newest thing. Aside from that, I don’t know anything about the organization who wrote the message but they are generalizing in a manner which appears to be unjustified and makes me suspicious about their reliability. I’m not saying these things don’t happen and they may happen enough to be a problem, but if they are happening, as the message strongly implies to everyone, then why have many people upgraded on lists like this and we haven’t heard much of anything about these problems? and why didn;’t we hear anything during beta testing on this list? In short, I consider the message to be cautionary, you may have such problems but not as any sort of proof about how likely it is that you will. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 03, 2021 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [TechTalk] [jfw-users] FW: Avoid Switching to Windows 11 As Long as Possible!! Hi Group,
I am using NVDA 2021.2 and I don't experience most of these problems. I am using the latest version of Microsoft Word from the 365 package and I do notice some sluggishness, but not as is described in this message from the Jaws-Users list.
The only major difference is that on my system--which is an HP desktop, I must click on the show hidden items chevron button and then use left/right arrow keys to highlight individual items on the system tray. This feature has effectively broken the NVDA add-on for syst tray list. On 12/3/2021 7:51 AM, Gerald Levy via groups.io wrote:
-------- Forwarded Message --------
Hi everyone, I hope it’s okay to forward the following message which I received regarding switching to Windows 11. I know several of you have done so, but this message is so negative about Windows 11, I really want opinions as to whether it’s okay to upgrade or not. Here’s the message I received: The IT Department at Blind Industries and Services of Maryland distributed the following information: I thought everyone should know about this. We have been finding that there is a massive problem with accessibility in Windows 11. Anyone using a screen-reader in Word, for instance, will find that very often, the system is slowed so badly it is nearly crippled; this does not affect people without screen-readers, as far as we've been able to determine. There are also a great many things broken that have caused screen-reader accessibility to seriously decrease. At this stage, Microsoft are showing few or no signs that they intend to fix the situation. Some of you may be offered the chance to upgrade by your home computers, depending on how new they are (the system can't be run on an older one), and we very strongly suggest, at this point, that you refrain from trying it. In some instances, it can render the system nearly unusable. It has also been known to cause video drivers to stop working, which means that nothing will appear on the screen, and it can also cause screen-readers to refuse to start up if you are even one version out of date. We also know that the alt-tab keystroke has been broken, and we suspect that a lot of other problems have been incorporated into Windows 11 as well. Having experienced crashes and mishaps getting the system up and running ourselves, we are only just experimenting with it and do not believe we've found all the problems. In the event that you would like to try an experiment at home, you absolutely must update your screen-reader fully before doing so. If you fail to do that, it probably won't load, leaving you without speech. Using Narrator to attempt to update any other screen-reader will be slow and might not work. The system has, overall, taken a rather nasty hit in the speed department that all of you, as screen-reader users, will notice in particular, and a lot of programs work erratically at best. Finally, if you do opt to try this update, we suggest that you do not try it on a computer you depend on for work or important personal tasks. Downgrading will be difficult or impossible. Again, those of you in Rehab may wish to let all your students know, and note that if you have a choice when buying a new computer, try not to purchase it with Windows 11.

Hi everyone,
NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2021.3 of NVDA, the free screen reader for Microsoft Windows, is now available for download. We encourage all users to upgrade to this version. Highlights: This release introduces support for the new HID Braille specification. This specification aims to standardize support for Braille Displays without needing individual drivers. There are updates to eSpeak-NG and LibLouis, including new Russian and Tshivenda tables. Error sounds can be enabled in stable builds of NVDA via a new advanced settings option. Say all in Word now scrolls the view to keep the current position visible. There are lots of improvements when using Office with UIA. One UIA fix is that Outlook now ignores more types of layout tables in messages. Read the full details, and download from: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2021-3/

I'm not sure I can see the settings discussed. I have no idea if

stop messages going to folder
if you don't want emails getting marked as important you can go to
mail settings > inbox - disable Importance markers
Regarding something causing it, are you using the web interface
or an e-mail program? Are you using POP3 or IMAP if you are using
a program?

Is there any way to stop mail from going into the “Important” folder? There are a few messages which will go to that folder and not show up in the regular Inbox folder. I have come close to missing some expected and/or needed messages due to this annoying Gmail issue. I am in the process of moving to another email provider just because of thing like this. Marie

Re: USB Type C Port Help Please
Hi again Thomas,

Hi Thomas,
On Amazon they show several models of
Hyperdrive Hubs, does your have a specific model number or name? And to
dial in a little more, how much did you pay for yours? Amazon prices range
from $69.99 to $99.99. Thank you very much for this info.

Try to get the hyperdrive hub, it supports charging and multiple
ports. Mine comes with an ethernet port as well, and a few usb A, hdmi and best
of all, it comes with an ancient 3.55mm jack for sound.
the main purpose for me to get that hub is meant for my ipad pro but, I
realise i can basically use for all USB C devices including smart
phones, laptops.
Hi All,
I would like to thank all of you for your
input. I spoke to Lenovo tech support to get their opinion and the final
result is the USB type C port on this particular laptop will only charge
another device and not transfer data unless the correct USB Hub was
purchased. Also the USB type C port can be turned on / off through the
Lenovo Vantage app and right now I do have the charging feature turned
off.
Anyways, it's nice to finally know this
ports capabilities and limitations. Again, thank you all for
everything.
Stay safe & take care. Mike.

Unfortunately, it's not the standard which will auto
detect what is connected to the port.
For example in LG Gram, you need to go into LG control center
and toggle charging. when its off, it will do what it will do in
reverse.
for asus and surface pro, that does it automatically
I will connect that drive onto a USB C smartphone and see if the
problem still persists.
and ask the manufacturer if there's a
toggle.

Perhaps someone else knows. If you should hear a connection sound
regardless of the configuration of the drive, that might answer the question
of whether the cable or the USB port is faulty, though not which one
is.

This I wouldn't know since this is my
first time using any type of a type C connection device, but I do hear the
connection and disconnection sounds when using the USB type A to type C
adaptors.
I would think that you would hear
something, but when using just the type c cable nothing shows in Disk
Management either. Then again, when using the adaptor the drive shows
as normal in ThisPC and Disk Management.

Hi Pablo,
I don't have any other USB type C devices
to connect, but I believe you hit on the problem. I think the external
SSD drive may not be configured to connect directly via a USB type C
cable. The drive came with a, USB type A male to USB type C male short
little cable that's a piece of crap. The connectivity sucked, so
I bought the type C to type C male cables as a work around, but I also
bought some USB type A male to USB type C female adaptors that work really
well for connecting the SSD drive to either of my wife's
laptops.
These cables are highly rated and neither
of them work on either of her laptops when using the cables by themselves,
but when using the type C cables with the adaptors they work really
well. So, your thought of the problem being a SSD configuration
setting is a good idea. I'll contact the person I bought the drives
from and talk to him about it and see what his thoughts are. Thank you
very much for your input.
Stay safe & take care. Mike.

Mike,
Other possibilities should be cleared up, such as for
example. That the USB C Cable is not working well, or that the External Hard
drive needs to change configurations to be able to connect through a USB C
Port, or that the port of your computer is not configured
correctly.
Connect other 2 different devices through the same USB C
cable you are using.
If this test works, the cable is not the problem.
However, you should try to connect other devices to your computer using the
same USB port you where using before. If the problems repeats. You already
know that there is a problem with your USB C in your computer. If the
problem no appears. It means that the external hard drive needs some
configurations to connect through the USB C port.
Take care,
We
have an LENOVO 81YK IdeaPad running Windows 10 Pro latest, but when I plug
an external drive into the USB type C port nothing happens. I do mean
nothing! I'm using a type C cable that supports both charging and data
transfer, but nothing happens. Below is what I've found that these USB
type C ports are supposed to do.
Description
[1]
USB-C connectors (Thunderbolt 3 compatible) / power
connectors
The USB-C connectors on your computer support the latest USB
3.1 standard and are fully compatible with Thunderbolt 3 technology. With a
proper USB-C cable connected, you can:
list of 5 items
• Transfer data
between your computer and peripheral devices.
• Transfer data between
your computer and another computer (Thunderbolt Networking).
• Charge
your computer.
• Charge your peripheral devices.
• Connect your
computer to external displays for video
output.
Well
none of the above happens when I plug my SSD external drive into the type C
port. I can access the SSD external drive if i use a USB type A male
to USB type C female adaptor, but that's the only
way.
Has
anyone ran into an issue like this and have a fix for the no connectivity,
or am I totally misunderstanding the way this USB type C port is
supposed to work?
All
help and input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
much.
Stay

I don’t use the online interface much except to tell GMail that something
isn’t spam, but as I recall each message shows a brief excerpt of the
message. I definitely know that no message is ever opened until you open
it.
I haven’t solved my GMail online problem but I was able to change the
conversation setting. When it is off, as I expected, every message has its
own link. Of course, you will see quoted text in opened messages but they
are no longer grouped by conversation.

Not sure if the way emails are laid out on gmail.com if

If it is how do I just put it in single view and not

Just throwing random fake names out there, let’s say I’m on

I have to click the link, and read the emails from me, bob
