Replying to the list using the web site
Gene
What are the steps to reply to the list to a
message using the web site? I deleted a message because I didn't think I
had a reply but, on reflection, I did. I opened the message on the web
site, pressed the reply button, wrote a message in the edit field, then I
activated the reply to group button. I did this more than once and no
message was sent to the list, at least I didn't see any when I downloaded mail
from the list again.

Re: MS Office tutorials?
Quentin Christensen
Alexander, I'm working on Excel currently. Being realistic, I'll say that should be available by the middle of the year, though likely sooner. Robert, Thanks for the expression of interest. We are keeping an eye on the interest in the audio of the "Basic Training for NVDA" as well as people who ask about Word like yourself, to ascertain the interest in the different formats. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Aria-live and interactive fiction
Jacob Kruger
At times, but, really depends on what you want - I use that for actual alerts, but, avoiding popup dialogues, so, if you just wanted text to get announced, aria-live="assertive" should handle it - "polite" seems to get avoided/ignored a bit too often, but, like said, really depends on rest of page contents, etc.
Stay well

Re: Test
Damien Sykes-Lindley <damien@...>
Hi,
Very unusual for groups.io. It’s the NVDA addons list I’m having trouble
with over at Freelists – it keeps randomly unsubscribing me. I resubscribed and
sent a message last night which seems to have gone through but then not only did
I get no replies, but no traffic from that list whatsoever. When I look at the
archives this morning I find that my message isn’t even there. That group has
unsubscribed me now about four times with absolutely no warning. Does anyone
know what’s going on with that list?
Cheers.
Damien.

Re: about nvda and triggers
Gene New Zealand <hurrikennyandopo@...>
Hi
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think the easiest way is to set up a profile with the reporting of those things turned off. Where they need to be turned off is under the document formatting section. But do not go there first it will need to be done in the profile. To set up a profile where you can do this and automatically have it done you need to do the following. Go into your browser whether it be mozilla fire fox etc. make sure it is in focus. Next Press the nvda key + ctrl key + the letter P When the profile manager opens next tab to new it is a button press the space bar on it. give it a name like mozilla fire fox with out formatting then tab it will say some thing manual activation i could have to check. Do not touch this one but arrow down to current application it will say mozilla fire fox. Then tab down to the ok button then press the enter key. Next bring up document formatting with the ctrl key + nvda key + the letter D. Tab down to where it says reporting of headings list etc and uncheck those boxes then tab to the ok button then press the enter key. You might have to go back into your pro file or hopefully it is still in focus locate the profile you set up then tab to the close button then press the enter key. If set correctly you should not hear link, heading list etc. When you do it make sure you are in mozilla fire fox then bring up the profile do your changes in document formatting then after done when back in the pro file tab to close just as mentioned. I am pretty sure you will get the idea and other profiles can be set up for other applications. I find doing for a current application is far easier for a lot of people. Gene nz I am pretty sure i gave the right directions.

I wonder if they had a back up of the subscribers database on line for a while. If it was out of date this would cause this sort of problem, but only the owner of the list server would know.

Re: Aria-live and interactive fiction
Jacob Kruger
Which browser are you making use of?
Ask since in chrome and firefox, I get no automatic feedback, but, the content is being updated, but, in chrome, the auto-completion in the edit field seems to be interfering at times.
However, if I try that out with internet explorer 11, then it handles it like you probably want it to - seems to read out next bit of feedback, etc. nicely, but, just gave it a very quick try.
I myself implement aria-live="assertive", and, role="alert" to get NVDA, etc. to read out content changes, but, haven't played around with the other ones yet.
Stay well

Aria-live and interactive fiction
Sukil Etxenike <sukiletxe@...>
Hi, Lately I've been testing online interactive fiction interpreters. All these implement aria (precisely,aria-live="polite", aria-atomic="false", aria-relevant="additions"). The problem is that with some specific games (like Ad Verbum) NVDA fails to output anything automatically. Link to test this (with Parchment):
Anyone can clarify why this happens? Note that this is not
specific to this game, but this only happens in Parchment (see
<http://www.eblong.com/zarf/glulx/quixe/quixe/play-remote.html?story=stories/Advent.ulx.js>).
That works properly... Even more weirdness: Andrew Plotkin uses an older version of Parchment with no ARIA, and it works surprisingly well (compare <http://eblong.com/zarf/zweb/tangle/> and <http://iplayif.com/?story=http://eblong.com/zarf/ftp/Tangle.z5>. Any thoughts? Thanks very much,
Sukil

What also works best for some icons - depends on the icon - is just NVDA key + numpad enter for default action.

about nvda and triggers
hello every one.
i remember that two years ago if i am correct, i asked this question and recieved a great answer step by step. but i dont remember the answer and the date which i asked it here. i wish that when i use say all in firefox or any browser, nvda does not announce link, heading table list and anything else. i wish that only hear the document rather than link heading and all elements. you told me i should use trigger for this purpose. how should i activate and use triggers for my goal? i waite for your help, God bless you and i pray for you sincerely. -- we have not sent you but as a mercy to the creation. holy quran, chapter 21, verse 107. in the very authentic narration is: imam hosein is the beacon of light and the ark of salvation. best website for studying islamic book in different languages al-islam.org

Re: NVDA and the system tray
Gene
There is an add on you can use the works like the
traditional system tray dialog. Or you can use the following
commands:
Double left click is enter.
Single left click is space bar.
Right click is the context menu key.
You can use first letter navigation in the system
tray to move to the icon you want.
You can move from icon to icon with the left and
right arrow keys. I'm not sure if the up and down arrows move you properly
through the system tray. You can experiment if you want.
