No, this is not necessary. I already stated as to why. I believe that those who want screen readers to do their work promotes laziness IMHO. Learn how to get that info or be left behind is how I look at it. Harsh, however, true. I know Bryan would agree and be much much more gentler than I.

I think sometimes we are expecting people to know too much about their systems. Some want to just use them, and not know what's under the hood. So I would agree with a way for every screen reader to collect information for diag purposes with a single keypress.

Other screen readers - such as BAUM's COBRA - therefore had a function to collect this information and make it available on the clipboard. This could be realized rather easily with an add-on. However, this add-on would certainly not always and everywhere be available where it was needed. This functionality should therefore be one of the NVDA kernel. Just my 50 cents Ad Astra yeti |
