Subject: [nvda] The word "alert" in Google Chrome



Hello everyone,

when working with Chrome and NVDA I often hear the word "alert" by

itself, that is, without any hint as to what the alert is about and

how to react to it. Can anyone relate to this and offer a

non-speculative explanation?

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend,

Felix

Don't care what the command to move the mouse is, the keystrokes I put in the post are the ones that work.  No idea why, (as I said before), but they do, and why is anybody's guess.  Change the keystrokes, and you won't be able to click the button.

<shrug>

I didn't invent the keystrokes, I just use them.

The command to move the mouse is NVDA key numpad star, otherwise called asterisk.

If you're using NVDA, getting to the purchase link is about as simple as it can get when web designs are broken.  All you need to do is tab until you find the buy now button/link, then use the NVDA key in combination with the shift and the numpad minus key (the one in the upper right corner). That will move the NVDA cursor to the keyboard position.  Then press NVDA-numpad enter, and the button will be pressed.  I've already writte this on this list at least twice before, and yet, it keeps coming up.  I have no idea why amazon broke their site, and I have no idea why this method works with the key combinations it does, but nonetheless, I've been quite successfully purchasing and borrowing via kindle unlimited for several months now since the change happened, and I assure this method works just fine.  I read several books each month, and kindle unlimited is a large portion of that read count, so I know of which I speak.  Nothing says you need to tab from the top of the page, use the page down key, use the arrows, use anything you like to get close to the purchase/borrow links, then for the final adjustment, use the tab key, it will get you where you need to be, then use the NVDA-shift-numpad minus to put the NVDA cursor there, then use the NVDA-numpad enter to click the button, it works every time.

Hi there: I;m not sure how one does that. When I see my messages on
this list. It's at the top. I'm using basic html using IE for win 7.

Hi, Arleen,

Is there a way to make replies come to the top of a message in basic HTML? I
used to use gmail's site and whenever I replied to a message, it would go to
the bottom of the original message instead of the top. That's when I
switched to an email client like outlook.

Hi, Arlene here. Sorry I use IE and I am allowed to switch to Basic htm or
whatever it is. So, IE and Chrome will allow you to choose.I find HTMl is
more easier then Standard!I too don't care for google's features. Just as
long as I can read and delete mail too. but you should check your trash
folder to clean it. Cause Google can be a pack rat.

Hi.

If you choose to switch to standard view there is only a couple ways
to switch back to basic.

1. chrome allows you to switch back, firefox/waterfox will not, and ie
does probably because it is old or something who knows.

If all you are using is gmail and settings I wouldn't bother with
standard view, its aparently accessible but basic html is more usable
to me at any rate.

I don't care about 99.9% of google's features though I just want to
make sure I check spam, read mail, etc.

This is strange.
Although I saved basic html as default, when I return to my gmail
account standard view still comes up and I have to click on the button
for basic html.
As I said earlier, I do this with JAWS as NVDA does not see the button
at the top of standard view.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
NVDA does not see the button at the top right after the title saying
inbox in standard view which says view basic html.
I used JAWS to click on that button which
took me to basic html view and was able to find the link to set it as
default.
Whether the screen layout was on or of did not matter.
Having a second screen reader as a back up certainly helps.

Hi.

Also, make sure your screen layout is turned off. insert V should do it.
If you don't turn it off you may be missing links.

cheers,

Mo.

Subject: [nvda] Basic html for gmail

Hello group,

I changed to standard view in gmail today and now I cannot make basic
html as my default view. Whenever I close and come bakc to gmail it
loads as standard view.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
