Re: Reviewing the screen, help

All this doesn't teach people how to review the
screen and if you are going to use the Command prompt to any extent, you need to
know how. I hope those who know more about this will write more.
it appears to me that if you are in object
navigation mode, you can use the regular review commands, numpad 7, 8, 9, move
left by line, read current line and move right by line, to review what is on the
screen. 4, 5 and 6 are left one word, current word, right one word.
1, 2, 3, are the same but by character.
If you want to move to the top of the navigator
object, use shift 7. To move to the bottom, use shift 9. In the
command prompt, the entire screen is one single navigator object. So shift
7 moves you to the top of the screen and shift 9 moves you to the
bottom.
To move to the beginning of a line, use shift
1. To move to the end, use shift 3.
I believe these commands work when expected in the
DOS prompt but I've only tried them a very few times. But all these
methods of piping output to a file, while useful at times, are really often ways
to get around basic knowledge of NVDA, which is useful in many contexts, not
just this one.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Reviewing the screen, help and i think there was a cmd to place it on the clipboard but its slipped my mind.Adrian, I was typing about redirection and append commands at the same time you wrote your message. You are correct about the clipboard. You just use the pipe command with the word "clip" after it, e.g., dir /? | clip and the output goes straight to the clipboard for pasting elsewhere. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back
