Also, a correction or addition needs to be made to
an earlier message by another list member. In the desktop keyboard layout,
the way you move through the different modes is to hold numpad insert and while
doing so, press numpad 7 to move forward through the selections and numpad 1 to
move back.
I don't know the laptop layout
commands and those may be what were given. But if you are using the
desktop layout, the default, layout, the numpad commands I gave are for
switching review modes.

questions The equivalent to the JAWS cursor is screen review
mode. There is also object navigation which, according to what I've heard
and read is equivalent to the touch cursor in NVDA. To read about screen
review, you can look at the user guide
You can look at the user guide
for information about object navigation but you would probably be better off
using a tutorial. I'll let list members discuss which tutorial they like
that deals with the subject.
You can click the mouse once you
move to something using object navigation or screen review mode. Use the
command NVDA key slash, the mouse left click key in JAWS and NVDA. That
moves the mouse to your current position in object navigation or screen review,
whichever you are using. Then press slash again, which iss left click, as
I said.
I can tell you where to look in
the user manual but if you want me to, ask and I'll do so in another
message. I'd have to look it up.
Also, if you don't know them,
you need to know screen review keys such as numpad 8 read current line in
review, numpad 7, move to and read previous line. and the rest.
Also, remember to always go back
to object navigation after using screen review. Certain things won't work
as they should if you don't.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Some mouse navigation questions so i guess what i'm trying to figure out here, ya know in jaws we have the PC and jaws cursor. Does such an animal exist in NVDA? Obviously there are some things we can access in jaws with the PC cursor, and some things with the jaws cursor. Then we have the ability to route from 1 to the other. Can we do the same thing in NVDA?
