Staying in Forms for Checkboxes
bestuiexperience
I sometimes find that when I enter a checkbox I automatically get thrown into browse mode. Since I am filling out a form I want to stay in forms mode because when in browse mode I sometimes will get focus completely thrown out of content.
So, 1) Is there a way to keep me in a given mode once I am in it 2) Is there a way to avoid being thrown out of the current element that I am in if I am not in forms mode (e.g., pressing the space bar will throw me out of focus occasionally when I am in forms mode)

How to Read an Entire Landmark

Is there a way to read out the contents of an entire landmark without [NVDA] down arrow? I just want to hear the region that I am in and no more.

Re: Differences between using the NVDA and the browser commands search on a webpage
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
I wasn't talking about the NVDA specific search function, I was
talking about the find function that is present in just about
every windows program in existence. A simple control-F will do
your initial find, and after that, simply pressing F3 will repeat
the find command from the current position of the regular cursor.
I almost never find it useful or necessary to use the NVDA
specific find function. As I said, I've only had to use it a
handful of times. I always use the standard windows find function and it almost always works for me with little to no issues. And, it's fewer keystrokes, so it saves me lots of time as well.

Re: Differences between using the NVDA and the browser commands search on a webpage
Gene
That isn't correct. In NVDA, to search when
in browse mode, the command is either insert and control. while holding
those keys, type f to open the search dialog. Repeat search is either
insert and f3.

Re: Windows10.1803 Having to restart NVDA every so often to get it to stay focused?
Pascal Lambert <coccinelle86@...>
Hi Steve, What a blessing! Your email came at the right time. After unchecking earlier the enhancements, the stuttering and sputtering were much less and restarting NVDA was less frequent, however still annoying. I will apply your suggestion and hope it will end for good the stuttering and having to restart the program. Many thanks. Blessings Pascal

Hi,
Other things you might want to uncheck or change.
In the Communications tab, set it to Do Nothing.
In the Advanced tab, set take exclusive control to unchecked.
Now you will probably have a much more responsive synthesiser, and consequently a snappier NVDA.
All the best

Re: Differences between using the NVDA and the browser commands search on a webpage
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
I don't know specifically about firefox, but in chrome, notepad,
and other windows programs (which would presumably include firefox
as well), after you hit control-F for find, type in your text, and
press enter, you then need to press escape, and it will put you at
the spot where the text was found. The nice thing about this is
that if you want to search agai, most of the time, just pressing
F3 will repeat the search, and place your cursor at the
appropriate spot without you having to do anything else. I have
rarely used the NVDA specific search capability, only a time or
two when the web pages weren't cooperating because of javascript,
scrolling text and the like. On 2/24/2019 11:09 AM, marcio via

Re: Golden Cursor question
Gene
I wonder what happens when a sighted person uses a
mouse on the links. We don't know if JAWS
is causing the action. A sighted person may have no action taken and NVDA
may be reflecting the actual design of the program.
Can you test with a sighted person and no
screen-reader running or ask on a
Becky support forum? At this point, the question can't be answered because of the possibility that JAWS is taking the action. Gene

Hi Billy, NVDA has many shortcuts, and different people use different ones day to day. My suggestion would be to start with our Basic Training for NVDA module. It's not free, but very comprehensive, and available in a variety of formats: https://www.nvaccess.org/shop/ Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Status 2019.1
Quentin Christensen
Hi Artin, It's coming along. We've been working on lots of exciting new things for 2019 and for various reasons, the release has been pushed back a little. Apologies for the delay, we'd rather bring you a quality product a little late, than ship an unfinished product just to meet an arbitrary deadline. If you are interested in finding and trying out what is new, you can download the latest alpha release from https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/snapshots/ - you can run that without installing it if you just want to test it out. If you go to the Help menu and What's new, you'll see all the changes from 2018.4.1 to try out. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Golden Cursor question
Curtis,
This is a serious question, but does Becky not allow you to activate a link you're on via spacebar or enter? NVDA will activate a link I'm sitting on in Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, or Outlook 2016 if I hit enter. I've never used mouse commands to deal with links in e-mail messages, and this is the first time I've heard someone describe it as necessary. I'm wondering if it's a Becky specific thing. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back
