A few are, but mostly not. I think the best way to get this noticed is to post a feature request on github and see what happens. It has an associated email list so you can follow any discussions.

I myself have only just got a registered copy of Jaws, and although sometimes its clearer, it is slower and more verbose and seems to have strange defaults, but then if I were a Jaws user and came to nvda, I'd probably have some issues the other way around! I do think the announcement of the make up of a page on the web is quite handy. This is something we have asked for in nvda before though, and if you know the page such a list could be very annoying! As for the rules of cut and paste, is there nothing in the user guide? What about the selection system used in drag and drop? Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Does this feedback and questions we are discussing get seen by the developers? Are most of NVDA's developers also on this list? Thanks, Michael E.

Then, you would copy only what you want of the entire page to the clipboard and paste it wherever you want. Either that, or use a JAWS demo where, I believe copy from page is the default. NVDA copies from the browse mode buffer and you can't change that unless you turn off the browse mode buffer and copy the entire page since you can't select by phrase, line, etc. if you turn off the browse mode buffer. Again, as yesterday, this is an important matter of user definable options that should be available. Perhaps a small group should be convened to consider such important options and implement them. NVDA will not be a properly capable employment or academic grade screen-reader until these sorts of abilities are implemented.

How do I retain the formatting as well? How do I get NVDA to do that? Thanks, Mike |
