This may well be a ticketed item, but I thought before I waste the devs time with this that I put it here. A couple days ago I was involved in a zoom meating. They heavily used the text boxes for q&a, the chat boxes, and the like. Nvda would read letters as I typed them in but if I hit backspace it wouldn't read the letters I was deleting, I also couldn't read anything in any edit field though I could read all output data just fine just input form data in input boxes. Its the only thing I couldn't do. Shaun

Pardon me, but the link leads to the Add-Ons Documentation add-on compatible with NVDA 2019. Therefore, as Brian pointed out, follow the alternative route to obtain documentations and commands of each add-on installed on your PC.

Language map can be edited in preferences. Do Chinese and Japanese use the same Unicode character set or different ones? If they use the same set, autmatic switching won't be possible.

If you don't have the Add-Ons Documentation Add-on you may want to consider installing it. You can also get to the documentation for the add-ons you have installed via NVDA itself in the Add-Ons Manager, Tools dialog. What you're asking may very well already be discussed in the detailed documentation. Even if it isn't, the fact that detailed documentation exists for many add-ons, and can come in quite handy, needs to be known. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: Getting a list of specific gestures
I don't know of any way to do this, if by "do this" you mean produce a list.
You can use the NVDA's Input Help Mode toggle, NVDA+1, and then go through the set of key sequences you want, and the function (if any, some combinations may be unassigned) will be announced to you as you press them until you toggle Input Help Mode off again. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Getting a list of specific gestures
Andy B.
Hi,
I want to see what gestures contain a specific key on the keyboard. For example, how do I check to see what gestures are currently bound to the numpad1 key? This should include all of the modifiers like shift, control, alt, etc. Does anyone know how to do this?

help with focus 14 blue and contracted braille.
Darren Harris
Hi all,
Well I’m starting to use this thing.
I’m having a bit of confusion issues though.
I’m not a fan of UEB so I’ve told it to use English grade 2 braille for both input and output braille. The thing is I’m having issues when I try typing certain things. For example I wanted to write the word again followed by an exclamation mark. So I tried writing ag followed by dots 235 but that didn’t seem to work and to my knowledge it should. So could someone help with this please?
Many thanks.

Re: ESET Antivirus accessibility
To be honest I am seriously thinking about my future with windows defender. Due to bgt misreporting I have had to do a lot of exclusions. I did a single update to a file which I was told to by its developer for a game which had a single bugfix executable patch and then I put it into the excluded folder. I then had to pass it through smartscreen which I have since got rid of to see if that helps but who knows. Defender started to rabit on that svchost.exe in c:\windows was infected, except that file did not exist, yet when I switched back to the version of the game that I had previous it worked well enough. While some blind accessible stuff is outdated it seems that windows defender wants to get round my exclude now. I have adjusted what security I think I can get away with but its getting to the point if it spreads I will have to run without windows defender completely or simply run less and less software that will conflict with it. I mean I may have to do eventually but its just a pitty is all. I am seriously wandering about just disabling windows defender and having an ondemand scanner which works. I have always wandered if there is something that will use virustotal as a scanner or if they have an on demand. I seriously don't really need antivirus for much bar file downloads. With my configuration with scripted games and a few programs, there are things the antivirus will just skip about.

Re: ESET Antivirus accessibility

We have an open issue for accessibility of ESET. Evidently ESET are aware and are working on it. I must admit, I simply use Windows 10's built-in defender and that is what I generally recommend. Hopefully we will have a positive update from ESET in the near term though. Kind regards Quentin.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your great work, bringing lots of feature to live the feature "automatic language switching based on character set" is very useful. It would be better if we could consider to allow user to adjust the speed of latin language separately. (E.G. speed 35 for non-Latin, speed 15 for latin English.) Thank you again for all of your contributions. Regards, Victor 2020-05-26 5:17 GMT+08:00, Tony Malykh <anton.malykh@gmail.com>:

Re: trouble with clickable elements
Jonathan COHN
This web site must be violating Princible 1 of the WCAG. A website must be perceivable. The best solution for the web site developer would be to use standard input checkboxes and then you would be able to work them. I highly doubt that they will do this, so the next best alternative is:
All of this assumes that the web developer is actually coding in HTML. If they are using a autogenerate a web site like WIX, Google, Facebook, wordpress then all of this should have been done by that vendor., and the best you can probably hope for is that next year the system will be made accessible.
