Re: NVDA reporting tables in windows explorer

Well, what you can try is disabling table announcement in NVDA's

document formatting settings. Note that this would be the default behaviour unless you create a new profile for the explorer application. Press Ctrl+NVDA+P, then go to New profile, followed by choosing current application (explorer) in the radio buttons. Then make the changes to document formatting afterwards.

Re: two issues

Are you reading messages by down arrowing through
them? That's really cumbersome and inefficient.. I know of no skip
blank lines feature in NVDA. If you use read to end, you won't hear blank
lines spoken as blank. You will just hear messages read just as any
documents in other programs.

Hi Louis

I had some thing similar a while ago. it happened in mozilla thunder bird as well as in mozilla fire fox. When you went into mozilla fire fox even if you tabbed tried using arrow keys single letter navigation keys etc it would also say unknown. Plus the menus up the top would not work. usually if the menus did not show you could use the f11 key to bring them back but not in this case. So would get unknown in both programs. it seemed some how some settings in mozilla fire fox had got corrupted I can not remember if it happened in other programs i think they were the only ones. The way i was able to fix it was I uninstalled mozilla fire fox from the add/remove programs section in windows it might be called some thing else in other versions of windows. it can be found under the control panel section. When it has been done then Press the windows key + letter R to bring up the run dialogue, then type in the following %appdata% then press the enter key. it will give you a list of folders and you will need to find the one for mozilla it will need to be deleted all together. . please note it will delete all of your settings then reinstall mozilla fire fox, it then fixed the problem. I also did the same as you did with nvda i uninstalled it from add remove section and also did the other by pressing the Windows key + letter R then typing in %appdata% then pressing the enter key, locating the nvda folder and deleting it out then reinstalling nvda. it was not NVDA that caused it but the other mozilla setting that i removed. All has been good for months. it may or may not be the same problem. I thought about putting how to do this up on my website under the trouble shooting section for nvda but only have heard it happen now and again. Gene nz

Re: Windows 10 Mail app
Gene New Zealand <hurrikennyandopo@...>
Hi Chris
There is a tutorial written on this program it was written by David.
At present it is when you type say in a email you can not hear what you have typed, but you can review with the left and right arrow keys etc. if i remember also it will also read out all when a say all is done.
I think i was reading some where on the list in a few weeks or maybe a month ther eis a new insider build that people on windows 10 will get and those problems will be fixed.
any how if you are interested in the tutorial it can be found at http://www.accessibilitycentral.net/nvda%20tutorials%20for%20other%20programs.html
You willl then need to jump down by headings to the tutorial called how to use the windows 10 mail app or something like that.
please note it also says about those bugs i mentioned.
hope it helps.

Re: Questions and suggestions

I concur with Gene and I do use Windows 10. The start menu and desktop are all configurable to your own specification, so they are only as cluttered as you choose to make them and as Gene says, you can find applications quickly by typing one or two letters. You can also create shortcuts which don’t appear on the desktop, so they’re only a single keystroke away and don’t clutter anything.
Cheers Chris

I don't know what you know and, as I said, I don't want to assume. I have written this somewhat long message in case you don't know some of what I'm discussing. Others can provide discussions of good instructional material, if you wish. If you already know what I've explained here, then this message won't tell you anything new but I'd rather discuss these matters than not so you and others following the thread will have the information if interested..
I don't know how much you know about efficient navigation in Windows structures. You don't have to go through item after item. There's first letter navigation. And if you have six items on the desktop that begin with the letter n, you can type more of the name of the item. For example, typing nv will take you to the NVDA icon. You don't just have to type the first letter. In the all programs list, you can use first letter navigation but you can't type more than one letter as I recall. My recollection is that what I'm calling the all programs list is technically a menu. The desktop is a list.
In menus, only the designated letter will move you to the item. In a list, typing the first letter or more will either move you to it or will move you to items that begin with the letter or letters. Often, in menus, it's the first letter but this can't be assumed. I believe that in the all programs menu, it's always the first letter of the item.
When using the start menu search field, you can often just type one word to get to something if you do a bit of experimentation to figure out what that is. I can get immediately to Windows Live Mail by just typing the word mail. The other words, typing either Windows or the word live brings up too many results to be efficient.
Do you know how to create shortcuts and to use shortcuts, already existing or created by you, to assign short cut commands to? I have assigned the command control alt m to open Mozilla Firefox. I can use that command almost anywhere to open it. I can use the command control alt w to open Windows Live Mail. And I have lots more. Some people like short cuts more than others but if you don't know about them and try them, you are overlooking one of the fastest and most convenient ways to open items in Windows.
And short cut commands can be used to open more than programs. They can be used to open drives or you can open a folder or a file you use constantly or a great deal just by issuing one command.
Not everything I've said may apply in Windows 10, I don't know. I don't use Windows 10. But most of it will, or will with slight modifications. And that is true of Windows 8 as well.
I'm not trying to be didactic or dictatorial but I hope that if you don't know the things I've been discussing, that you get some good instructional material. Windows is very convenient and efficient when used as designed. It isn't when used as though it were something else, like DOS.
Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: Damien Sykes-Lindley Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [nvda] Questions and suggestions
Hi Gene, To be honest, I’ve never liked the start menu, or the desktop. If you have tons and tons of things installed you often find they can be far too cluttered. I would rather type a filename, and possibly a path if the appropriate environment variables haven’t been set, than go through 350 shortcuts to find what I’m looking for. Even back in the XP days when there was no menu search facility, I preferred the Run method, though sometimes if I knew exactly what I was looking for and I was sure I could get to it quickly (such as start, s, enter for Skype), I would use the start menu. But ever since the start menu changed in Vista, I never touched it again. Far, far too cluttered, and in my experience, the search feature was completely useless, hence the reason I’ve removed it from the Windows Features. It’s completely gone downhill. Again though. Each to their own. I can certainly understand the appeal if you know there are only a select few programs you use on a regular basis and you do a shortcut cleanup, but I run what I need, when I need, and can’t say for certain that I use anything more than the other. Especially now I’m starting on mainstream software development toolkits I’m becoming more and more familiar with the command line every day, so the run dialog seems trivial now, in comparison. I also find that the path environment variable and symbolic links are also rather helpful. They take a bit of grasping and setting up, but I so love Win+R, docs, enter to get to the My Documents folder! Cheers.

Re: Questions and suggestions

I don't know how the desktop is classified in later
versions of Windows but as late as Windows 7 it is classified as a list. I
suspect it is in later versions as well. The instructional materials I
used in my early days of learning Windows said that first letter navigation
works in the desktop so I never considered that some people might not
realize it because of the difference in layout.
Even if you already know the other things I
discussed, I hope my comments about the desktop are helpful.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Questions and suggestions Hi Gene,
Hotkeys are indeed excellent. One of the first thing I look for in a
program is hotkeys. In fact, some have so many that it’s hard to memorise all of
them. But at least they’re there!
The only problem I have with Windows shortcuts being linked to them is
that, because they are global throughout the whole system, it can unfortunately
cause conflicts with other running applications that utilise those shortcuts.
For instance, I could assign a ctrl+alt+q shortcut to launch QWS (a MIDI
sequencer), and another application may use ctrl+alt+q to mean quit. I have
known ctrl+alt+o for options, ctrl+alt+x for exit, ctrl+alt+n/p for
next/previous, all of which can be assigned to a Windows hotkey, and then it’s
touch and go as to which item activates. Otherwise, I’m definitely all for
hotkeys!
As an aside, I must admit I do find it odd, and mildly frustrating that
there are four modifier keys that can be used to register hotkeys and yet it is
still possible to run out of logical keys! This is even more so for global
shortcut-linked ones, since I think you can only have ctrl+alt and ctrl+shift
combos. Possibly if you’re extremely dextrous you might be able to have
ctrl+shift+alt, I haven’t dared to try that one. Lol.
First letter navigation. Now you mention it I am aware of it. I use it all
the time to move quickly to files in Explorer. But for some reason it didn’t
cross my mind for the desktop (even though I know that is also controlled by
explorer). I guess because my explorer is in detail view, and the desktop shows
as a sort of grid layout I treated them as two separate systems. Strange how
brains work!
Cheers. Damien.

NVDA reporting tables in windows explorer
erik burggraaf <erik@...>
Hi all,
On this new windows seven machine I set up with NVDA, most but not all folders in windows explorer are reporting to be laid out in tables by NVDA. NVDA is reporting row and column positions of folders and files. Not all folders are doing this, but I applied all the settings of a folder that wasn't to all folders and that didn't fix the behavior. Any ideas as to changes I might make to the views so that they become standard list views? Thanks, Erik Sent with AquaMail for Android http://www.aqua-mail.com
