LeaseyTags.

Introduction.

LeaseyTags is an intelligent application which allows you to manage files within File Explorer. You can also tag messages in Microsoft Outlook for manipulation, described below.

For example, if you wanted to select files 1, 3 and 25 in a File Explorer list, perhaps for copying, cutting or deleting, this could be difficult. It can be done using the keyboard but there is the potential for mistakes to be made. LeaseyTags makes this and other similar functions simple!

Using LeaseyTags in File Explorer.

LeaseyTags allows you to assign a tag to any file within File Explorer. If necessary, this can be from multiple folders. Simply focus upon the file you wish to tag, then press Control+Shift+Space. When you tag a file, you hear a LeaseyTag sound.

If at any time you wish to change your mind and cancel the processing of tagging, press the Escape key. All tags will be removed. The files themselves are not removed.

To verify which files are tagged, either:

1. Move through the list of files by pressing Up or Down Arrow keys. As focus moves to a file which is tagged, you hear the LeaseyTag sound. Alternatively, you can use first letter navigation in order to move to a file directly. Again, you will still hear the LeaseyTag sound.
2. Press Control+Shift+T. Each file which has been tagged is announced. This would be the most appropriate way to verify tagged files from multiple folders.

You can press ALT+Windows+N to verify the number of files which have been tagged.

In the event you wish to remove one of the LeaseyTags from the list, simply locate the file pertaining to the tag to be removed. This will be indicated by the LeaseyTag sound. Then, press Control+Shift+Space to remove it.

When all files have been tagged, a number of actions can be performed:

• Control+C will copy all the LeaseyTagged files to the Windows clipboard ready for pasting elsewhere with Control+V.
• Control+x will cut all the LeaseyTagged files to the Windows clipboard ready for pasting elsewhere with Control+V.
• Control+Shift+D will remove a LeaseyTag from the focused file. Press this keystroke twice quickly to delete all LeaseyTags.
• Delete key or Shift+Delete will delete the tagged files from the computer. A Dialog box will appear, asking if you would like to delete the files. Please press the letter "Y" for yes or "N" for no.
• Control+Shift+P will add all the tagged files to a LeaseyPlaylist. Please refer to the next chapter relating to LeaseyAudio for a further discussion on playlists.

As an example, if you wanted to copy files 1, 3 and 5 from a folder, and paste them into an alternative location, please follow these steps:

1. Locate the folder in File Explorer containing the files to be copied.
2. Press the Down Arrow key to focus upon the first file and tag it with Control+Shift+Space.
3. Move to the next file in the list, (it can be several files down), and again tag it with the same keystroke.
4. Repeat the procedure for the third file.
5. Press Control+Shift+T and the file names of all those you have tagged will be spoken back to you.
6. Press Control+C to copy the tagged files to the Clipboard ready for pasting elsewhere.
7. Browse to the second folder and press Control+V. If you have copied more than 10 items, you will receive a progress indicator letting you know periodically how many have been copied. You will be advised when the copying is complete. If any files could not be copied for any reason, a screen will appear using the JAWSVirtual Viewer, indicating which files could not be copied. Press Escape to close the window and return to File Explorer.

LeaseyTag Confirmation.

When you perform actions on LeaseyTagged files, (such as copying them to the Windows clipboard), you will hear a sound, followed by the word, “Complete”. When this is done, all LeaseyTags are removed from files. This is to ensure that LeaseyTags are not stored for a long period of time.

Using LeaseyTags in Microsoft Outlook.

This section of the documentation requires very careful reading.

LeaseyTags allows you to assign a tag to any message within a Microsoft Outlook mail folder. A good example would be the Inbox where all incoming messages live. Many people have an Inbox containing thousands of messages! This is not particularly efficient if you wish to find messages quickly. The best approach is to move messages you wish to keep into folders for the purpose.

In summary, you will tag messages you wish to manipulate. Once tagged, there are three things you can do with them:

1. Move them to an alternative folder, Control+Shift+V.
2. Copy them to an alternative folder, Control+Shift+Y.
3. Delete them, by pressing the Delete key.

Note that when messages are tagged, you cannot open them. The process of tagging them therefore should only be used in a situation where you have previously read the messages and you wish to tidy up your mailbox folder.

Simply focus upon the message you wish to tag, then press Control+Shift+Space. When you tag a message, you hear a LeaseyTag sound.

If at any time you wish to change your mind and cancel the processing of tagging, press the Escape key. All tags will be removed. The messages themselves are not removed.

To verify which messages are tagged, either:

1. Move through the list of messages by pressing Up or Down Arrow keys. As focus moves to a message which is tagged, you hear the LeaseyTag sound.
2. Press Control+Shift+T. Each message which has been tagged is announced.

You can press ALT+Windows+N to verify the number of messages which have been tagged.

In the event you wish to remove one of the LeaseyTags from the list, simply locate the message pertaining to the tag to be removed. This will be indicated by the LeaseyTag sound. Then, press Control+Shift+Space to remove it. Back to Help Index.
