Web Navigation PreferencesPage Navigation
The Page Navigation group of controls make it possible for you
to customize how Cthulhu presents, and allow you to interact with,
text and other content.
Control caret navigation
This checkbox toggles Cthulhu's caret navigation on and off.
When it is on, Cthulhu takes control of the caret as you arrow
around within a page; when it is off, the browser's native caret navigation is
active.
Default value: checked
This setting can be toggled on the fly
To toggle this setting on the fly without saving it, use
Cthulhu ModifierF12.
Automatic focus mode during caret navigation
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will automatically turn on
focus mode when you use caret navigation commands to navigate to a form
field. For example, pressing Down would allow you to move
into an entry but once you had done so, Cthulhu would switch to focus mode
and subsequent presses of Down would be controlled by the web
browser and not by Cthulhu. If this checkbox is not checked, Cthulhu
would continue to control what happens when you press Down,
thus making it possible to arrow out of the entry and continue reading.
Default value: not checked
Manually switching between browse mode and focus mode
In order to start or stop interacting with the focused form field,
use Cthulhu ModifierA to switch
between browse mode and focus mode.
Enable structural navigation
This checkbox toggles Cthulhu's
Structural Navigation
on and off. Structural Navigation allows you to navigate by elements
such as headings, links, and form fields.
Default value: checked
This setting can be toggled on the fly
To toggle this setting on the fly without saving it, use
Cthulhu ModifierZ.
Automatic focus mode during structural navigation
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will automatically turn on
focus mode when you use structural navigation commands to navigate to a
form field. For example, pressing E to move to the next entry
would move focus there and also turn focus mode on so that your next press
of E would type an "e" into that entry. If this checkbox is not
checked, then Cthulhu will leave you in browse mode and your next
press of E would move you to the next entry on the page.
Default value: not checked
Manually switching between browse mode and focus mode
In order to start or stop interacting with the focused form field,
use Cthulhu ModifierA to switch
between browse mode and focus mode.
Automatic focus mode during native navigation
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will automatically turn on
focus mode when you use native browser navigation commands to navigate to a
form field. For example, pressing Tab to move to the next entry
would move focus there and also turn focus mode on so that your next press
of E would type an "e" into that entry. If this checkbox is not
checked, then Cthulhu will leave you in browse mode and your next
press of E would move you to the next entry on the page.
Default value: checked
Manually switching between browse mode and focus mode
In order to start or stop interacting with the focused form field,
use Cthulhu ModifierA to switch
between browse mode and focus mode.
Automatically start speaking a page when it is first loaded
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will perform a Say All on
the newly opened web page or email.
Default value: checked for Firefox; not checked for Thunderbird
Present summary of a page when it is first loaded
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will summarize details about the
newly opened web page or email, such as the number of headings, landmarks,
and links.
Default value: checked for Firefox; not checked for Thunderbird
Enable layout mode for content
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu's caret navigation will respect
the on-screen layout of the content and present the full line, including any
links or form fields on that line. If this checkbox is not checked, Cthulhu
will treat objects such as links and form fields as if they were on separate
lines, both for presentation and navigation.
Default value: checked
Table Options

tables, please see Table
Navigation Preferences.
Find Options
The Find Options group of controls make it possible for you to
customize how Cthulhu presents the results of a search conducted
using the application's built-in search functionality.
Speak results during find
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will read the line which
matches your current search query.
Default value: checked
Only speak changed lines during find
If this checkbox is checked, Cthulhu will not present the
matching line if it is the same line as the previous match. This
option is designed to prevent "chattiness" on a line with multiple
instances of the string for which you are searching.
Default value: not checked
Minimum length of matched text
This editable spin button is where you can specify the number of
characters which must match before Cthulhu announces the
matching line. This option is also designed to prevent "chattiness"
as there are many matches when you first begin typing the string
for which you are searching.
