User options for dwell and scanning time in The Grid 2

It is now possible, whatever the access method, for the user to determine the speed at which they select cells. For example, if they were using a switch, they might want to increase or decrease the scanning time themselves, rather than having to rely on someone else to change it in User Settings.

Increasing or reducing scan time

1. Go into Editing Mode (press F11) and choose two empty cells.
2. For the first cell, double click to edit and click on add a command. Search for Scan faster, and click ok.
3. Repeat for the second cell, and search for Scan slower.

Increasing or reducing dwell time

This is an option for eyegaze, headpointer, touchscreen and mouse users.
If you are using eyegaze, you need to add the Increase eyegaze dwell and reduce eyegaze dwellcommands; one to each cell.

If you are using the pointer (headpointer, touchscreen and mouse users), you need to add theIncrease pointer dwell and reduce pointer dwell commands.

All these commands will vary the speed by 10%.
