Re: NVDA Commands Not working
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
One of the biggest issue I have come across are weird keyboards. I encountered one for Guide yesterday, sold by Dolphin, which has no windows key or an alt/control key, and esc is big and just above the cursors, no function keys and no keypad but a weird key that works a bit like a laptop key.

Re: automatic brows mode
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
One thing to be aware of, there hasbeen a bug in the second of these checkboxes in Internet Explorer 11 for about a year, where the effect does not change. Apparently this is going to be difficult to fix andfor now they suggest one uses Firefox or just puts up with the fact you cannot cursor through the focus mode item sometimes with some edit field types.

Did you switch to the laptop layout? Some

I do know about automatic focus mode. I think that's what the original poster meant--not browse mode.

Re: can't sign in to my gmail account

I'm not sure what you might do to solve the problem
other than send the support team a message. If you have problems finding
how to do this, someone on list will very likely help you. I saw an item
when I looked at help that discussed being locked out briefly but it didn't give
any actions to take. It was discussing a temporary lockout and said it
might last for from one minute to 24 hours. It also said there are no
actions you can take. I don't know if you are temporarily locked out or if
you are locked out in a way that requires action of some sort.

Re: FW: [ttz] For Joseph NVDA and amazon.com

Trying another browser might solve the
problem. Or the following might also solve the problem:
Tab to the go button or search button or whatever it's
called after typing your search. I don't know if browse mode will be on or
off at that point. I don't use automatic turning of browse mode off and on
so I don't know. but make sure whether it's off or on. use the
command numpad insert space or insert space. Either one will work.
It's a toggle. Repeat the command if necessary until you hear something
like browse off. or you may hear a sound of some sort. I turn off
the sounds and I don't know what you will hear indicating that browse mode is on
or off. There is a different sound for each. When you are sure its
off, press enter or the space bar on the button. If one doesn't work, try
the other. I don't know what is causing the problem but this is not
typical behavior. You might also try the NVDA bypass command before
activating the button, though that shouldn't make any difference if you have
followed my instructions correctly.

I'm not sure that's true. I seem to recall that JAWS may have such a setting. Or I may be wrong and it may be Window-eyes or maybe both. When someone is alone, they might want to have the actual characters echoed. Of course, the danger is that someone may use this setting when they don't have privacy There is another danger as well. Some malware turns on the computer's microphone, in the case of a laptop and the malware could record and send the password announcement somewhere. Malware can get the password in all sorts of ways, but I'm not sure I would want a feature that provides another possible method.
Having said that, I don't have much in the way of an opinion about whether a setting should be implemented, but I'm slightly against it at this time. I would say that if it really matters, open Notepad, type the password, then copy and paste it into the field on the web page. But typing carefully directly in the field should cause such work arounds to be unnecessary, I should think.
