ConsoleOne 1.3. x on Windows includes enhancements in the software and documentation to make accessibility easier for people with disabilities.
If you are unfamiliar with the control or shortcut keys used in Java software, you can find a list of these keys at the Swing Component Keystroke Assignments Web site.
To navigate in the JavaHelp online help system, you can use the tab keys to navigate to control icons. JavaHelp loses focus when the text window is active, although the up and down arrows will scroll the help text. You can also use the following JavaHelp controls:
Ctrl+T = next link
Ctrl+Shift+T = previous link
Ctrl+Space = activate selected link
JavaHelp 1.1 is currently inaccessible via JAWS screen reader software. To access JavaHelp with a screen reader, use the IBM Self-Voicing Kit available from the AlphaWorks Web site.
To enable the new ConsoleOne accessibility feature, complete the following procedure:
Install Java Access Bridge.
The Java Access Bridge exposes the Java Accessibility API in a Windows DLL so that Windows Assistive Technologies can interact with Java applications that use the Java Accessibility API.
To set up the Java Access Bridge for use with ConsoleOne, complete the following steps:
Download the Java Access Bridge from the Java Access Bridge Website.
Unpack the Java Access Bridge into the C:\AccessBridge-1_2 directory and enter the following:
C:\AccessBridge-1_2\installer\Install
For more information on installing and configuring the Java Access Bridge, see the Java Access Bridge readme.
Place a copy of the C:\AccessBridge-1_2\installer\installerFiles\accessibility.properties file in the ConsoleOne_installation_path\JRE\LIB folder. By default, this folder is at C:\NOVELL\CONSOLEONE\1.2\JRE\LIB.
