[Rwp] Two unrelated questions

[Scott Chesworth]

Hey Chris,

No need to be paranoid about that OSARA config dialogue man. It's
tiny. At this stage, there are only two settings and they're either on
or off. There's not much to break yet ;)

Another thing that's neat about CTRL+Shift+J is that it's multi pres.
If you go to the view menu and set your ruler to display multiple
units of time, such as the mode that gives you bar, beats, minutes and
seconds, you can access both. CTRL+Shift+J once will give you bars and
beats, hit the same keysttroke twice quickly for mins and secs. This
only works with the relevant time display modes, and doesn't get
talked about much, but it's neat.

Btw, I know Jayson already answered the question of how to mute speech
with NVDA. Just wanted to add that for anyone who doesn't use the beep
mode but does do a lot of muting and unmuting, there's a neat little
addon that you can Google called Speech Beep Omiter, which removes
beeps from the cycle, effectively making NVDA+S a simple mute toggle.

Hth

Scott
