5.2 THUNDER’S MUSICAL TONES

Have you ever been frustrated by hearing, "it’s on the left of the screen in the top corner" When someone is describing a website? Well, Thunder comes to the rescue. If you press the ARROW keys or CONTROL with ARROW KEYS, you will hear musical tones.

The pitch goes up as you move up the screen and down as you move down the screen.

As you move across the screen with CONTROL RIGHT ARROW the pitch rises but with a slightly more wooden sound. So with time and practice you can build up a mental image of the layout of the screen.

Musical tones can also help you check your work. As you move across the screen using the Arrow keys you will hear that a capital letter has a higher pitch tone. Punctuation and Space have lower pitched tones.

If you are using Thunder and not hearing these tones, go to Thunder Settings: hold down the ALT key (one to the left of the spacebar), and press the TAB key (third down on the left-hand side). Keep pressing TAB till you hear the word "Thunder". Release ALT, and press TAB till you hear "Settings". Press ENTER. Press TAB until you hear "use music" and if it says "unchecked" press the SPACEBAR, which will change it to "use music checked". Keep tabbing until you hear "save configuration" and press ENTER.

From then on you will hear the musical tones. If they get on your nerves or you don't need them, do as above but press Spacebar to untick that checkbox.
