Re: Asking a few NVDA questions.

I thought this message was in another thread on
another list. I was discussing shortcuts in the below answer for an e-mail
program. I see now that the question was asking about NvDA short
cuts.
There are short cuts to open certain dialogs such
as to set speech parameters and select a synthesizer. You can open many of
the settings categories in NVDA.
I'll tell you two or three shortcuts I know and
there must be a place in the manual or the quick keys reference to find
more.
If you change settings and you want to go back to
the settings you usually use, the shortcut is NvDA key control r. You will
hear configuration applied. If you have saved the new settings, you can't
go back in this way because the new settings are part of the
configuration. If you exit NVDA with new settings, by default, they will
be saved. I think this is a very bad default setting. People should
be able to try different settings and not have them inadvertently saved.
It should require an affirmative act by the user, not closing the program which
may result from shutting down the system, or closing the program for other
reasons.
You can change this setting so changes aren't
automatically saved, and if you do, you can save new settings with NVDA key
control c.
To open the voice dialog, the command is NVDA key
control v.
To open the synthesizer dialog, it's NVDA key
control s.
You can change how progress bars are read or not
read.
NVDA key control u. There are a number of
options you can move through. You can move through them as many times as
you want.

Subject: Re: [NVDA] Asking a few NVDA questions. I know the usual ones, control r, alt s, the
generally used ones. I believe there may be another shortcut command or
two to do things like go to the deleted messages or sent mail folder but I'm not
sure and I don't know them if they exist.

Any other keyboard shortcuts you can teach this old dog to learn a new
trick from?
Many thanks once again.

Subject: [nvda] Asking a few NVDA questions. I'm playing my online rpg truck driving game using NVDA and have a few questions. For using a forms mode. I noticed that you have to tap and shift tap to get forms mode to kick in and press the esc key to get out of forms mode. Is there a way to have forms mode kick in and out automatically, and simply just smack the enter key and or spacebar to 1. activate a action? 2. As well the enter key and or spacebar would allow you back out of the forms mode for filling out a field. For example, in this example, I'm talking about the truck driving RPG game. Now while within the truck driving setting my speed that I want to drive at I have to use forms mode to enter into this feature. So is there a way so that you don't have to constantly tab and back tab to go into forms mode, and to constantly have to press the esc key to get out of forms mode once again? Similar to the way forms mode works like in JAWS? I also noticed for two punctuations. The Apostrophe comes out as the word tick. So, if you use the Apostrophe like in a word like I am, it comes out as I tick m instead of the contracted word, im. Also the period is reading as dot. The period comes out as dot instead of period or no punctuation at all. I have the punctuation set to some. Should I set it to none? The comma reads correctly though. Havn't tried other punctuations with NVDA just yet. Also, why is it that I'm seeing in and out of tables and so many rows and columns? Is there a way to remove all of this extra information so that you only see what you need or want to see, without all of the info on the tables and columns and rows? If we could, I think it would make reading the screen more effectively and or better. Many thanks to all who tried to help me learn how to use NVDA as a second screen reader. Very Thankfully Yours, Ron, who needs to practice some more learning to use NVDA before I have to use it with my flying simulatior and the programs that that are added onto the flight sim so that a blind and or visually impared or BVI pilot may be able to fly.
