Keyboard shortcuts

This page lists every keyboard shortcut in Cloudy Reader and the tab order of the window. The shortcuts belong to menu commands, so Cloudy Reader must be the active app.

Reading

The Reading menu holds these commands. Each is available under the same conditions as its button, listed in Main window. The Tooltip shows column gives the glyphs in the button tooltips.

Action	Keys	Tooltip shows
Speak	Command-Return or Command-Enter	⌘↵
Speak Clipboard	Command-Shift-V	⇧⌘V
Repeat	Command-R	⌘R
Stop	Command-Period (.)	⌘.

Editing

The Edit menu holds these commands. They act on the question box or the Spoken script view, whichever has focus.

Action	Keys
Undo	Command-Z
Redo	Command-Shift-Z
Cut	Command-X
Copy	Command-C
Paste	Command-V
Select All	Command-A

Window and app

Close Window and Quit Cloudy Reader both end the app, because it has one window.

Action	Keys
Close Window	Command-W
Quit Cloudy Reader	Command-Q
Minimize	Command-M
Zoom	None
About Cloudy Reader	None

Moving between controls

Tab in the question box moves focus out of the box. The tab order follows the rows of this table, and the controls inside each row. Shift-Tab walks the same order backward. Tab skips disabled buttons and the hidden Speaker box. After the Spoken script view, Tab returns to the question box.

To move to buttons, checkboxes, and pop-up menus with Tab, turn on Keyboard navigation in System Settings > Keyboard. For a full walk-through, see Use VoiceOver and the keyboard.
