Re: NVDA keyboard navigation keyboard commands
Alas. Again, not that I’m looking for a Jaws clone, but I find it odd that if this isn’t something that’s more laid out from within NVDA itself that someone hasn’t come up with some sort of add-on to provide this sort of functionality since NVDA does seem to not have that many keyboard commands that occupy many of these types of keystrokes. I know links to some add-ons were provided, but even then, those keystrokes required using the arrow keys. Being able to keep both hands (especially the right one) on the alphanumeric keyboard as much as possible really does help.

If you want a symbol rather than an emoji, you can use Windows' charmap - press the windows key, type the word "charmap" and press ENTER.
You can use this dialog to find different characters. The default simple view lets you pick a font, then arrow around it and find characters. If you check the "advanced" checkbox, you can search for characters - for instance I searched in Arial for "bracket" and found just the square and curly brackets. When it reads each character in the list, it reads something like: "U+005D: Right Square Bracket". If you know te appropriate ASCII code, you can also type that in many places, by pressing alt and then a numerical sequence. For some reason, that code is in hexadecimal (base 16) but you type the code in base 10 (alt+093 will give you a right square bracket). Note that in order to type those codes, you need to use the number pad (with numlock on), not the number row.
Regards Quentin.
Thank you. I want to write square bracket which isn't available in keyboard.
Can you be a bit more specific on what you are trying to achieve in nvda?
Are you wanting to allow nvda to read a special symbol or are you perhaps
asking on how to create a particular symbol in a document, this is a windows
query and may be more applicable on a windows list.
Often this sort of thing depends on the language windows is set on and the
language the installed version has loaded.

Fast browse mode - request to test
Hello all, I would like to ask volunteers of NVDA community to test fast browse mode in NVDA. Here is a link to alpha version with fast browse mode enabled: https://github.com/mltony/nvda/releases/download/FastNVDA_alpha_2019_01_21/nvda_snapshot_source-fast_nvda-7c9d81a.exeA little background. NVDA has systematic problems with browse mode, such as: * Rubber band effect - sometimes right after keystroke focus jumps back to the previous position in the document. * Edit boxes and other form controls inside web pages sporadically entering forms mode, especially if pressing keystrokes quickly one after another. * General sluggishness. Fast browse mode aims to resolve all three of these issues. You can toggle between fast and traditional browse mode by pressing NVDA+8 (not numpad 8, but number row 8). Fast browse mode is enabled by default in this build. Traditional mode is the same as what you get in all official NVDA builds. Three questions I have for the testers: 1. Do you feel that fast browse mode is indeed faster than traditional browse mode? If so, in which websites/scenarios you see the most significant improvement? 2. If you have experienced any of the three browse mode problems mentioned above, can you still reproduce them with fast browse mode? 3. Are there any bugs with fast browse mode? If so, please provide as much information about these bugs as possible, such as: Steps to reproduce, Actual behavior, Expected behavior, System configuration, Windows version, Browser version, Website name, errors in NVDA output log if any. Please send your feedback as a reply to this thread. Don't forget to restart your computer if you are installing this version before reporting bugs. Also, this is effectively an alpha version, which means that it will likely play a two-tone error sound whenever there's an exception - it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with fast browse mode. For more information, here is NVDA bug (one of dozens, but this seems to be the main one): https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2039Pull request: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/9114Best regards Tony

Hi Christo,
Can you please advise the steps to reproduce this?
Which Office program? Which emoji character? If it's a document you have been sent, if you are able to forward it to info@..., I can have a look at the same file, otherwise, if it's one (or several) emojis, please advise how to select the appropriate one(s).
Kind regards
Quentin.
Hello NVDA developers
A friend who is not on this list asked me to report that when using NVDA
with Office 365 emoji are not shown; instead the number 12 appears in
the text. This only happens in Office 365 and not in older versions of
Office. He says that the opposition Shark handles emoji perfectly in
365. Is this a know issue?
Kind regards
Christo

In this mode the control buttons disappear.

Hi friends.
I opened a presentation in PowerPoint 2016 and pressed f5

I can read the first slide’s text with nvda and, if I

But how can I go to the next slide?
I tried to press pagedown, enter, spacebar and even press
nvda key + f2 and pagedown. But it didn’t change slides.

Re: [nvda] NVDA keyboard

Ive been using Jaws going on
18 years now.
I am aware of the various

My query was on commands for
navigating via the keyboard in a
laptop mode. As I mentioned going
back and forth between the

for me at least takes away from

Jaws where you can do navigate by

is that big a deal, but do it
hundreds of times throughout the

Thus my question on whether
there were NVDA commands and or an
add-on beyond the capslock+L for
read current line that also
allowed for further navigation
without having to use the numpad
and even the arrow keys.
I should say, on seeing
further discussion, that I'm not
sure what you mean by jump by
word. As has been said, control
down arrow moves down by
paragraph and you can use all
the standard movement commands.
They are not screen-reader
commands. If someone only
taught you the numpad command
movement commands in JAWS or the
laptop alternative numpad
movement commands, that's
negligence. In any
screen-reader, or even if you
weren't using one, you can use
all these commands. Right
arrow, move one character
right. Left arrow, move one
character left. Up arrow, move
up one line. Down arrow, move
down one line. Down by
paragraph, control down arrow.
Up by paragraph, control up
arrow.
I'm not sure if those are
the kinds of commands you want
to know but I suspect you were
only taught the JAWS numpad or
the JAWS laptop movement
commands and not the Windows
commands and that is incompetent
teaching beyond belief, if that
is what was done.

I.E. commands such as capslock+N, comma
or period for previous character, current
character, next character. Capslock+ J, K or
L for previous word, current word and next
word. Capslock+ U, I or O for previous line,
current line and next line. Same for
paragraph and sentence, etc.
Again, its not that switching back and
forth between the main keyboard to either
the arrow keys or numpad is especially
burdensome, but depending on what you may be
doing multiplied by hundreds of times in a
day, thee navigational commands via the
laptop keyboard layout just feels like a
more efficient process of getting things
done.
The only command I came across for
anything similar with NVDA is the capslock+L
command for say current line. It doesnt
seem like there are too many NVDA keystroke
commands that make use of the capslock+ the
letters on the keyboard. Thus my query if I
was in fact missing something and there were
in fact keystroke commands beyond this one
command or an add-on that expanded on this
capability.
So yes, I am well aware of all the
various numpad navigational commands as well
as using the four arrow keys, but my
question was on whether these same commands
could also be replicated via the main
keyboard. Just use the numpad or arrow keys
really doesnt address my question. If there
is in fact not a current means of doing this
either through a built in function in NVDA
itself or through an add-on, then that would
also be good to know.
Are you saying you want to use
movement commands where you use keyboard
commands for movement in JAWS that
duplicate the numpad movement commands in
desktop layout? NVDA doesn't have such
commands. The numpad isn't used for that
purpose in the desktop layout and such
commands aren't duplicated on the laptop.
If that is what you are saying, I think
that if you got used to it and gave it
time, you would find movement with the
keyboard commands such as control plus
arrow keys to be as efficient. Its muscle
memory, as you said.

[nvda] NVDA keyboard navigation
keyboard commands
Ive been using Jaws going on 18 years
now.
I am aware of the various Jaws screen
reader and windows numpad keystroke
commands.
My query was on commands for navigating
via the keyboard in a laptop mode. As I
mentioned going back and forth between the
keyboard and the numpad/arrow keys for me at
least takes away from the efficiency as
opposed to with Jaws where you can do
navigate by character, word, line or
paragraph without ever having to take your
hands away from the main keyboard itself.
Its not that going back and forth between
the main keyboard and numpad or arrow keys
is that big a deal, but do it hundreds of
times throughout the day and in the
aggregate can quickly become noticeable and
tedious.
Thus my question on whether there were
NVDA commands and or an add-on beyond the
capslock+L for read current line that also
allowed for further navigation without
having to use the numpad and even the arrow
keys.
I should say, on seeing further
discussion, that I'm not sure what you
mean by jump by word. As has been said,
control down arrow moves down by paragraph
and you can use all the standard movement
commands. They are not screen-reader
commands. If someone only taught you the
numpad command movement commands in JAWS
or the laptop alternative numpad movement
commands, that's negligence. In any
screen-reader, or even if you weren't
using one, you can use all these
commands. Right arrow, move one character
right. Left arrow, move one character
left. Up arrow, move up one line. Down
arrow, move down one line. Down by
paragraph, control down arrow.
Up by paragraph, control up arrow.
I'm not sure if those are the kinds
of commands you want to know but I suspect
you were only taught the JAWS numpad or
the JAWS laptop movement commands and not
the Windows commands and that is
incompetent teaching beyond belief, if
that is what was done.

Hello list,

more or at least become more proficient with
it. The one issue I continue to have with
NVDA and just cant get used to is the
keyboard navigation. I know it in part has
to do with simple muscle memory with Jaws

lock) plus L command to read the current

able to jump around via paragraph or line or

not aware of other keyboard navigational

Yes, I know there are all the numpad
commands, but with Jaws at least, being able
to keep ones hands on the keyboard instead
of having to switch back and forth adds up
and makes a difference and comfort. And to
be clear, Im not looking for a Jaws clone
and am aware that theyre two different
products. Im completely open to this
different approach, but this navigational
thing is for me anyway proving to be the one
major stumbling bock to try to use it more.
I would appreciate any enlightenment.

Even if one can, this is a "proceed with caution" area. There was a time when I was first tutoring that I subscribed to the "customize everything however much you want to to make your computing environment suit yourself." Over time I learned that overdoing this makes one like a deer in the headlights if faced with having to use another machine, even temporarily, if too much has been changed from defaults that it's impossible for the user to even remember all of what they've customized. When it comes to native screen reader commands, regardless of the screen reader, I would be very, very cautious about reassigning them even if that's possible. --

I guess you can do it through the input settings, guess that's the

And I think you say that because you've never used a system where one's hands never leave the alphanumeric keyboard. As someone who did, for years, with a text editor I can tell you that extending your left pinky to CAPS LOCK or similar is generally much faster than moving either hand in full (or even "hyperextended" in part) off of the alphanumeric keyboard. That's one of the reasons that many text editors designed for programmers work that way, so that one never lifts one's hand from the main keyboard. --

In my case I never move my left hand when using capslock. But my fingers are very very long so I can do that.

With Jaws, I always enable the laptop keyboard layout, be it
for my desktops or laptops. Indeed, I do use the numpad and arrow keys for
commands, but having the ability to use the same navigational commands on the
main keyboard itself as well proves to be a huge efficiency booster and time
saver.
I.E. commands such as capslock+N, comma or period for
previous character, current character, next character. Capslock+ J, K or L for
previous word, current word and next word. Capslock+ U, I or O for previous
line, current line and next line. Same for paragraph and sentence,
etc.
Again, its not that switching back and forth between the
main keyboard to either the arrow keys or numpad is especially burdensome, but
depending on what you may be doing multiplied by hundreds of times in a day,
thee navigational commands via the laptop keyboard layout just feels like a more
efficient process of getting things done.
The only command I came across for anything similar with NVDA
is the capslock+L command for say current line. It doesnt seem like there are
too many NVDA keystroke commands that make use of the capslock+ the letters on
the keyboard. Thus my query if I was in fact missing something and there were in
fact keystroke commands beyond this one command or an add-on that expanded on
this capability.
So yes, I am well aware of all the various numpad
navigational commands as well as using the four arrow keys, but my question was
on whether these same commands could also be replicated via the main keyboard.
Just use the numpad or arrow keys really doesnt address my question. If there
is in fact not a current means of doing this either through a built in function
in NVDA itself or through an add-on, then that would also be good to
know.

Are you saying you want
to use movement commands where you use keyboard commands for movement in JAWS
that duplicate the numpad movement commands in desktop layout? NVDA
doesn't have such commands. The numpad isn't used for that purpose in the
desktop layout and such commands aren't duplicated on the laptop. If that
is what you are saying, I think that if you got used to it and gave it time, you
would find movement with the keyboard commands such as control plus arrow keys
to be as efficient. Its muscle memory, as you said.

keyboard navigation keyboard commands
Ive been using Jaws going on 18 years now.
I am aware of the various Jaws screen reader and windows
numpad keystroke commands.
My query was on commands for navigating via the keyboard in a
laptop mode. As I mentioned going back and forth between the keyboard and the
numpad/arrow keys for me at least takes away from the efficiency as opposed to
with Jaws where you can do navigate by character, word, line or paragraph
without ever having to take your hands away from the main keyboard itself. Its
not that going back and forth between the main keyboard and numpad or arrow keys
is that big a deal, but do it hundreds of times throughout the day and in the
aggregate can quickly become noticeable and tedious.
Thus my question on whether there were NVDA commands and or
an add-on beyond the capslock+L for read current line that also allowed for
further navigation without having to use the numpad and even the arrow keys.
I should say, on seeing
further discussion, that I'm not sure what you mean by jump by word. As
has been said, control down arrow moves down by paragraph and you can use all
the standard movement commands. They are not screen-reader commands.
If someone only taught you the numpad command movement commands in JAWS or the
laptop alternative numpad movement commands, that's negligence. In any
screen-reader, or even if you weren't using one, you can use all these
commands. Right arrow, move one character right. Left arrow, move
one character left. Up arrow, move up one line. Down arrow, move
down one line. Down by paragraph, control down arrow.
Up by paragraph,
control up arrow.
I'm not sure if those
are the kinds of commands you want to know but I suspect you were only taught
the JAWS numpad or the JAWS laptop movement commands and not the Windows
commands and that is incompetent teaching beyond belief, if that is what was
done.

Re: RES: [nvda] NVDA keyboard navigation keyboard commands
Hi
Below is for the word and character.
Announces the current word in the text where the review cursor is positioned. Pressing twice spells the word. Pressing three times spells the word using character descriptions.
Report current character in review
numpad2
NVDA+.
none
Announces the current character on the line of text where the review cursor is positioned. Pressing twice reports a description or example of that character. Pressing three times reports the numeric value of the character in decimal and hexadecimal.
By the way have you got nvda in object review mode? use the nvda key + the number 1 on the numeric keypad to do this.
Then try it again. The review mode is different to the i think you call it the focus mode. It can get to read only material that you might not be able to with the arrow keys they are the ones not on the numeric keypad.

Re: NVDA keyboard navigation keyboard commands
Hello, ah now I understand what you are asking for. No, in NVDA there isn’t such a feature. But you could write to the author of the add-ons sentencenav, textnav and indentnav. His name is Tony Malykh. Maybe he can implement such a feature in one of those add-ons. Basically, what you are requesting is a feature to read current, previous and next character/word/line/paragraph without moving the system carret in edit fields and editors. You could also fill the feature template on Github and propose this feature.

You can find more about this group in the link: Hope you the best Dear all,
I will now be required, for certain essential activities, be required
to extensively use Google Docs and in extension Google Drive for the
next several months to collaborate on documents. Given this, it is
imperative that I get well acquainted to Drive and Docs. However, that
is precisely what I am struggling with.
* I began reading AFB's NVDA specific tutorials on Google Drive and
Docs, but my experience with Drive is not exactly corresponding to
what has been instructed.
* This includes things like NVDA being very latent in the tree view
item on Google Drive, at random instances simply getting stuck in a
control which has nothing in it until I Tab out of it, all of which is
preventing me from even managing to go inside a folder and view its
files, let alone open a document and edit it.
* Due to these issues, I am currently relying on direct URLs to files
and documents to access them and subsequently work on and contribute
to them. Another alternative approach I have tried to adopt is to add
this particular shared folder to my own Drive, such that I can access
it on Windows Explorer on my PC itself. In this scenario, there are a
number of important files that are missing from the folder on my
computer which I have had confirmed with my collaborators. Backup and
Sync from Google on my computer contradictorily claims that everything
has been updated.
I am unclear on how to resolve NVDA's laggy behaviour on Google Drive
on the web or instead be able to get all the files in the shared
folder as they are newly created and updated on my computer. I would
greatly appreciate any ideas or suggestions on a more elegant means of
using Google Drive and Docs. Things I intend to try for now are
confined to switching from Firefox to Chrome in hopes that an
alternate web browser may provide better support for NVDA with
Google's web apps.
Thanks.
P.S. I did press Ctrl+Alt+Z to enable screen reader support in Docs,
and switched views in Drive from grid to list.
