Update Documentation and Shortcuts using the letter L (ell) to use uppercase L

[britechguy]

Luke,

When you go into Input Gestures for Speech Logger, the gesture to turn on logging for local speech is NVDA + ALT + L, but the ell is shown as a lowercase L, which for those of us who are sighted, is indistinguishable from an uppercase I in a very great many fonts (and it is in the one used by NVDA for presenting the Input Gestures dialog).

I have no idea if there are other places where the letter ell is represented by a lowercase variant, but for the sake of sighted assistants who may be helping an NVDA user, uppercase ell is a better choice as it's visually distinguished from uppercase I in any font I've ever seen.

Certainly not a high priority fix, but if you happen to be making any that would allow that tweak, I know I, for one, would appreciate it.

@britechguy This is an NVDA problem, outside the add-on's control. Where the add-on sets the gesture, it appears as follows: gesture="kb:NVDA+Alt+L" and: gesture="kb:NVDA+Shift+Alt+L" How NVDA mangles that after the fact, is entirely up to NVDA. Additionally, please indicate where in the documentation that the L is lowercase, and I will rectify it immediately. I have checked the readme, and it is already uppercase there. Thanks.

Luke,

I don't really know if there are instances in the "print" (I realize not literally) documentation, but wanted to raise that possibility, since NVDA is the first and only piece of software I've ever dealt with that force converts to lowercase.

I thought for certain this had to have come from you (in this specific instance) and clearly it does not. You've already seen, and participated in, the topic I started on the NVDA Add-On Developer's group about this.

Editorial comment: This, and case insensitivity in regex processing as the NVDA default, are so far the two most foolish decisions I have ever encountered in what I consider to be a major software project with international reach.
