Problem with standard F5 keystroke is that almost every single
browser will then just reload the page from scratch, losing all
DHTML content changes.
I do also know that NVDA key + number row 5 is meant to turn on
reporting of dynamic content changes, but, it won't always work,
partly since, at times, the webpages document-object-model will be
rather extensive.
Either way, I had just thought/assumed that it was
offering/implementing a form of virtual page buffer refresh, but
anyway - will play around with other keystrokes, alt+tabbing away
from window, and back to it, etc. etc.
Stay well

I believe it does reload the

than to just refresh the buffer. If so, it is doing the same
thing as just f5. Of course, if you reload the document, you
are reloading the buffer. But try turning browse mode off and
then on with NVDA key space. This may just refresh the
buffer.
If NVDA key f5 is explained in
the manual, I don't know where. It isn't discussed in the
browse mode section. It is probably mentioned in the quick
reference guide, but it may well not clarify what it does.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA + F5 hotkey doing an actual
document reload
This is something I think has been going on across a few versions
of
NVDA now, and, just wanted to confirm that it's not me that's
confused.
I am currently making use of Version: alpha-15854,a8bda064, FWIW.
Anyway, I was under the impression that, for example, in a web
browser,
the hotkey combination of NVDA + F5 should repopulate the virtual
buffer
rendition of the page contents - I do need this at times since I
work
with dynamic web contents - but, it seems to, literally, just
reload the
page as if you'd clicked on something like the browsers own
refresh
button, or as if you'd in fact told NVDA that the next keypress
should
be passed directly through to the operating system?
Or am I incorrect in having thought it only repopulated a form of
virtual buffer for the webpage?
TIA
