Settings should be named in the title bar Windows
I am familiarizing myself with Thorium iu using JAWS. Learning the diffrent keyboard shortcuts. They are hard to get but otherwise seem to work, however it would make the app more friendly and easier to understand if different windows hwere indicated in the title bar. So settings when opened opens ok but the title bar is the same as the book or place in Thorium cyou came from. If Settings was the title of the Window it would make navigation and orientation much easier for a screen reader user. This may also be the case in other places in the app I am not sure.

Hello, sorry but I didn't quite understand what you said, can you explain me what "settings" is for you?
Hi, The settings I refer to is the app settings. As a new user you would have to go there often to read the list of assigned shortcuts. This list is by the way also hard to read with a screen reader, and the list should be made more accessible and added to the documentation. In this way users can read it like other information and copy it to our own documents or even hardware like a braille notetaker. But as it is now you will often have to go into ssettings to check all the different shortcut keys.Here you can easily lose the overview of where you are. Either in the settings dialog or in the book you came from.This could be made more obvious if the title of the window with settings included the word setting. As it works now nothing changes when you open or close settings. This is not a problem for users that can see the entire screen, but it can be a problem for screen reader users that works with a much smaller part of the screen basically what is in focus at the time.

But let us say i get distracted by something comes back to the book Iand wwant to check where I am. Now reading the title foof the windo in Jaws jawsKey+t Now I hear: Thorium - Thorium Reader Documentation English So what I am told is the name of the book I was reading before I opened settings. This in my view is a bug since I am not in the book but in settings. This can be obvious because jaws sometiems will add extra information about the current heading, but the first infromation you get is in my view misleading.

@thoeg The shortcut list is available online from the support and resources page Keyboard shortcuts. Please remember that this page is to be updated soon and that this website is still missing a full accessibility assessment. If you meet any blocker, please report it to the dedicated thorium doc issue tracker.
I notice a confusion between the Application Settings panel, available from the main Thorium window where the libraries stand, and the User Preference panel available from each book window. The second one does not give access to shortcuts.
Both are not windows, but Panels. That's the reason why Jaws contextualise it in the Thorium - Thorium Reader Documentation window.
@panaC a way could be to add a H* title to those panels so one can figure out where he is.
