Testing the verbal commands listed in the Help Context generic browser menu of the talon help files.
The non-indented lines are verbal commands spoken into a microphone.
The indented lines are what happens when the commands are spoken into a microphone.
Things that work as expected start with 'as expected'
Things I found to be problems start with problem:
OS: windows 10
Browser: Firefox
Help context generic browser
Problem: open the generic browser help context menu. Have to repeat the command 3 times with the right accent, and then it opens the generic browser help context menu
address bar
as expected, moves focus to address bar and highlights address
go address
as expected, moves to address bar and highlights address
go url
as expected. moves to address bar
Go home
as expected, returns browser tab to home page
forward
as expected, if there is a page forward in the browser history, the command takes you to the next page
Go forward
problem: command works exactly like forward, but is not listed in the context help generic browser command list
go back
as expected, if there is a page back in the browser history, the command takes you to the previous page
go backward
as expected, if there is a page back in the browser history, the command takes it to the previous page
go private
as expected, this opens a new window for private browsing
bookmark show
as expected, this shows me my bookmarks.
Problem: help context generic browser does not explicitly say the "close window" command will close the bookmark window, although it seems like a fairly intuitive assumption.
Problem: while looking to see if a folder was actually created, I used the "bookmark show" command. This opened a window. switched to notepad with the "focus notepad" command, which brought notepad forward. Then I said "focus firefox," which only brought the firefox bookmark window forward. Then I use the "window close" command to close the bookmark window. My Firefox window was behind my notepad window after this. Saying "focus Firefox" did not bring Firefox back in front of notepad. I had to say "focus notepad" and then "focus firefox" to enable to main firefox window to be brought all the way forward.
Bookmark bar
problem: this command does not seem to do anything. Nothing appears on the screen when it is spoken into the microphone and the focus is on Firefox the browser.
Bookmark it
as expected, this allows me to add a book mark
bookmark tabs
as expected, this allows me to create a folder with which to store all open tabs as bookmarks.
Reload it
as expected, this reloads the browser
reload it hard
as expected this reloads the browser
show downloads
as expected, this shows where things have been downloaded
show extensions
as expected, this shows were extensions have been installed. It specifically takes me to the Firefox extension page
Show history
as expected, this shows the browser history
show cache
as expected, this shows the cache window
problem: when I said show cache in a new Firefox window, nothing happens.
