Re: Moving to NVDA

It isn't practical for NVDA to have different
layouts, one for JAWS, one for Window-eyes. the actual NVEDA layout and then two
more laptop layouts as well. In addition, why do you say it would make
much difference. If you know JAWS, and you evidently do, look at how many
commonly used commands are the same or similar. Time is NVDA key
f12. Read title bar is NVDA key t. Read to end is NVDA key down
arrow. The only difference is that you have to use the down arrow key on
the main keyboard. You can't use the down arrow key on the numpad.
Most of the commands people use are Windows or program commands, regardless of
screen-reader being used.
For Window-eyes users, there aren't that many
different commands to learn.
And regardless of previous screen-reader, object
navigation and screen review commands are different in NVDA. A lot of
people, whether they would benefit from knowing screen review and/or object
navigation, never learn either, regardless of which screen-reader they are
using.
If you tell us specifically what you would find
easier, we can address those specific commands. But the general contention
that having all sorts of different layouts in NVDA is not practical nor would it
be very helpful. I consider the Window-eyes JAWS emulation layout to be a
gimmick that actually works against people learning Window-eyes fully since the
JAWS emulation doesn't incorporate all the Window-eyes commands.

and Jaws. One thing that would make this move so much easier is NVDA having a keyboard layout for Window Eyes and Jaws. Window Eyes had a Jaws keyboard layout to make Jaws user to also use WE.
