Hi Roger
It sounds like you have the Ease of Access
setting called “Toggle keys” switched on. This causes Caps
lock, Num lock and Scroll lock to emit a high pitched beep
when pressed. It has no effect on the functionality of NVDA
at all and is just to reassure the user that they have pressed
one of the keys named previously.
Cheers
Chris
I may have found a minor bug in latest
NVDA. I have the extended insert
key (also known as the insert key on the
"six pack" keys set as the nvda
modifier key. At first, I had thought it
had gotten unset or something
as when I press this key, I get no beep
while I do get the beep when I
press caps lock. However, the key is
working as the NVDA modifier key
correctly. Is this normal to have a beep
for caps lock as the nvda
modifier but no beep for the extended
insert key? I had thought both
keys would beep for a single press to let
you know it is the nvda key
but they will do their normal functions if
pressed twice quickly. If
there isn't supposed to be the beep on the
extended insert key, then
this is normal but I just wanted to ask
about this as I'm pretty sure I
have heard a beep for that key in earlier
versions of nvda.
