Re: What is the latest version of NVDA as of 2020-04-13
As Mr. Wolak has already noted, as of today's date, the latest NVDA released version is 2019.3.1
For completeness, here are the two commands you can use to check what version you are currently running and have NVDA check if there's a newer version, and install it. Check Current Version (About) NVDA+N,H,A
Check for Updates NVDA+N,H,C

Re: Trouble with Microsoft Word
Diane,
If you will use the Reply to Sender link to reply to me privately, and any one of the files doing this is not of a private nature, please attach it and I'll take a look. Something's very off here, and it may be something very simple, but trying it to see what happens is the best way I can figure things out quickly. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Re: Tony's enhancement add on.
Tony Malykh
So the story goes like this. I wanted my other add-on IndentNav
to work in VSCode, but due to some technical difficulties, it
turned out to be impossible. So I ended up implementing a VSCode
extension by the same name. But there I discovered another
problem. I made Alt+Down in that extension to jump to the next
line with the same indentation level, but it turns out that NVDA
wouldn't automatically read that line, since NVDA is unaware of
Alt+DownArrow keystroke and it simply passes it on to the
application. So What I wanted to do is to be able to tell NVDA
that Alt+DownArrow is a special keystroke in VSCode, and once this
keystroke has been pressed, NVDA should wait for the state of
VSCode to change and speak the updated state. I called this
feature dynamic keystrokes, since they change the state of
application. This could've been implemented as VSCode app module,
but I wanted to make it universal, since I saw some other
potential uses. For example, in Notepad++ when you press F2 to
jump to the next bookmark, same thing, you probably want to
announce the new line the cursor just jumped to automatically.
This is I believed is already solved by Notepad++ add-on, but this
wasn't the case back when I conceived this feature. Another
example is debuggin in Eclipse: there are many keystrokes, like
F7, F8 that end up moving current line in the file and I just
wanted this to be announced automatically. Hope this explains this
feature better.

online hex editors. Sorry about that. XVI32 is a longstanding player in the field, though, & w/its drive editing capabilities, should he feel the need to go that very frightening route, & being free & accessible besides, hopefully it'll serve his needs. Accessible tools like these can be really hard for blind programmers to find.

Re: Any accessible hex editors for screen reader users?
Jackie,
My search was for ONLINE hex editors. There's nothing to download. Also, the point was that someone else said they knew of a few but didn't have the URLs for same, and often just seeing them again in a search list will turn on the light bulb. That's why I posted it, as there really aren't that many online ones available. I agree that one should try to avoid the tedium of download and try to the extent possible, but in the case of something as esoteric as this, if you're looking for one that resides on your machine, that's likely going to be part of the work if no one can identify an accessible one to begin with. It is a PITA, but one that all of us, and for accessibility reasons or otherwise, have had to slog through upon occasion when no one could give a short list. And if you find yourself having to do this, posting later about what you found that is accessible is a really, really good thing to do. Even if you give the online ones a quick try, and identify a couple that are accessible, posting which ones are is a really, really good thing to do. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Re: Any accessible hex editors for screen reader users?
Jackie
Hi, Paul. XVI32 is accessible if memory serves--& sometimes it
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
actually doesn't. It's also a disk editor. Brian v, just so you know, often these hex editors don't show the screenreader the cursor, which is what prompted Paul's question. He's trying, I'm pretty certain, to avoid the very tedious, time-consuming, & bandwidth-sucking process of downloading something only to find the cursor, for him, just isn't there. It's a real pita. So, unfortunately, search engines aren't much help in this regard. HTH, gentlemen.

Re: Reading messages list in Mozilla Thunderbird
On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 11:58 AM, Marie wrote:
I somehow missed this part of the procedure.You didn't miss it, I had described its existence, but mentioned that I never used it. Tried it out last night and it works like a charm (at least for all my accounts, which are all using IMAP access). The reason I preached caution, and you may need to go back and rearrange your Sent folder, in particular, is that what you generally want as column order for inbox and any "incoming message box" you might sort/filter things to is different than you want on your Sent folder. For instance, in any incoming box most of us are interested in the field that our e-mail client uses to show who a message is from (From in the case of Thunderbird, Sender in others). But in your sent box, since it's you that sent it, the From field is always going to show you, and you don't care about that. What generally gets shown in Sent is the To field, who you sent it to, which is the important bit on a sent message. So be aware, that if you do a global change to all your mailboxes based upon your inbox, you will likely need to go back to the Sent box and tweak it, and it alone, to have the columns you want to be looking at, in the order you want them since some of those will not be the same as inbox. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

If you look back in the original instructions, I mentioned that when you hit ALT+O to open the list of all Thunderbird columns in Thunderbird itself, beneath that list are two controls: Restore Column Order (to Thunderbird Default Order)
Apply Columns To (which I have never used, but it allows you to apply your
settings above to other folders in Thunderbird) -- After you have your columns arranged exactly as you'd want them to be in all folders, use ALT+O to open the column list and get focus on the Apply columns to control. Once activated, you are given two suboptions, Folder and Folder and its children. You will want to use Folder and its children. When you open this suboption you are then presented with a list of the e-mail inboxes you have (generally your accounts) along with Local folders. When you select either one of the accounts, that will then open with the account at the top, and all of the subfolders beneath it, allowing you to select individual subfolders if you so choose. In this case, just select the account at the top of that list and all IMAP subfolders should then be arranged in Thunderbird with the same column order you have arranged for the inbox. You must go through the Apply columns to control and its suboptions for each account, if you have multiple accounts. If you also want your local folders, usually only Trash and Outbox, to have that same order you need to do it for them, too. I would proceed with caution on the Trash and Outbox folders.

Gentlemen, I am kindly asking that this topic be shifted to the Chat Subgroup if it is to be extended, along with the other Windows Server specific topic as well.
Neither is NVDA centered in any meaningful way. The Windows 10 for Screen Readers group would be more directly suited to Windows Server questions. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

any server will be easier by using the terminal even in windows that is command line or windows power shell commands. ubuntu mate is the easiest to load, set up and use to get going quickly.

just use ubuntu mate. its free and you can install it without assistance. if you are just using it for a server it will work fine as far as accessibility goes.
