Re: [NVDA] Going to the top and bottom of a window

This message is somewhat long but some people may
find it useful.
Control home and control end, when in a document
are not NVDA commands. They are Windows commands and will work whether a
screen-reader is present or not. A sighted person would see the cursor
move. The other command you gave, for screen review, is an NVDA
command.
It is important to learn the difference between
Screen-reader specifric commands and Windows or program commands. That's
because you can then use a computer with a different screen-reader, if
necessary, and do a good deal if you have to not use your screen--reader of
choice. It also makes changing screen-readers much easier. Even on
your own computer this matters. If you have to run Narrator for some
reason, if you know the difference, you can use it immediately and do a good
deal.
In general, though this is not a perfect
discrimination, commands that do things that do not rely specifically on vision
are Windows commands. Commands that do things that rely on vision are
screen-reader commands. For example, read current line and read title bar
are screen--reader commands. You need commands to announce these things,
which a sighted person can simply look to see. Control home and control
end are Windows and Windows program commands. They move the cursor in a
program or edit field. They are not just something you look at. You
are changing something in the program itself.

Subject: Re: [NVDA] Going to the top and bottom of a
window NVDA sure does have key commands to go to the top orb bottom of a window. If you are reading a document or such where the system carrot can follow along, you can just press CTRL+Home or CTRL+End to go to the top and bottom. If you are using the review cursor to read the text on objects, the laptop command is NVDA+CTRL+Home or End. That is it. David Moore -----Original Message----- From: John J.

The other screenreaders that I have tried do have such keystrokes. Why doesn't NVDA? Thanks, -- John J. Boyer; President, AbilitiesSoft, Inc. Email: john.boyer@...
