Re: Announcing immediate release of Enhanced Touch gestures add-on version 17.03
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
Heh, I'm one of those who would report the touch gestures work just fine. :)
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I have a windows 8.1 machine and NVDA touch gestures do indeed work just fine. There's one gesture that isn't in the documentation, (don't remember which one, though I did report it here), but otherwise, I can work with the gestures just fine. I don't use them often, but they do come in handy for certain tasks, or if I don't feel like turning on my wireless keyboard for just a couple quick and simple things.

I find nvda very bad with touch as well. I hope at some time the devs might do something with touch. I thought it was just me, but to many users seem to report that they can't work touch. I know someone will come back and say it works well with me but I have about 5 tablet devices and just can not get nvda to play well with touch I have given up.

Re: Windows 10 App Essentials 17.03 released
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
Also, there's a reason the addon is called windows 10 add on essentials. There's plenty of folks not using windows 10 yet, and if NVDA is to stay compatible with those users, rolling the entire functionality of the addon into NVDA would require a whole lot of if statements in lots of places to ensure it was running on windows 10 before trying different functionality. I'm guessing that's the main reason it's an addon at this point.

Not to throw a spanner in the works, but is it not correct that Calibre will only convert DRM-free ebooks? Thanks James

Re: Question about Open office.
Nika Tsiklauri
Hi! Thanks for help. I tested that version and it is really great. I also have an updates about 4-th version of this software. When pressing enter on that menu buton, we should scrill down with arrow keys. NVDA doesn't reads the menus, but it moves. it depends in which context we are using that button. Sometimes there is one button, which ic open. Otherwise, When I try to create a autotext, I press autotext menu and then press down arrow once. Bingo! I am there and then pressing enter activates the item. After that, tab key is working for navigation just fine.

After starting the download you need to hit control plus J and this will take you to the downloads window. In this window you can see the progress of your downloads. Regards, Greg Wocher

Re: Headers in Microsoft Word
Gene
Commands such as control o, control n, etc. that
bypass menus and ribbons often work. Shortcuts that rely on menus
generally don't work in ribbon programs. And, as I said, the kind of short
cuts such as control o, control n, etc. aren't actually shortcuts, even though
most people call them short cuts. They are accellerator
commands.

Using Adobe Digital Edition Reader with NVDA

Hi all,
One of my textbooks is an Adobe Digital Edition, and it seems that I have to use Adobe's Digital Edition reader to access it. I can see the table of contents, but I can't access anything beyond that. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I am getting further behind with each day that I cannot figure this app out! :( Best, Amber Sent from my iPhone

Re: Headers in Microsoft Word

I should have said the command is likely not to
work if you are using a ribbon version. I don't use word so I can't
check.
Gene
----- Original Message

Unless you are using a version of word with menus,
it won't work. What are technically called accelerator commands, which
allow you to do something by bypassing menus or ribbons still mostly work.
Commands such as control for open, for example. Ribbon programs have one
menu. In that menu, some things work as before in terms of short cut
commands. You can probably open the save as dialog with alt f a. But
that's because that command is in the menu and Microsoft intentionally preserved
the old short cut sequence.

Yes, I wrote to them a couple of years ago, and the answer sounded more or less like "we can't be bothered".

I wouldn't waste my time with devs likethose. If you want a fair alternative to Whatsapp, try Signal. When I last used it, it was very accessible. It's a lot more private, and Whatsapp themselves use the encryption system developed by the devs of Signal... If Telegram can't be bothered with us, why bother with them? Ciao, Ollie
