Hello,

Been tinkering a bit with the NVDA Remote Access Add-on, and really love it.

Especially love the ability to set the add-on to auto connect to a

client's PC immediately after NVDA has launched. Very very useful for

controlling my home PC when on vacation.

Do have a question regarding the Push Clipboard feature?

I'm able to successfully push text copied to my controller PC's

clipboard to the PC being controlled, but not files?

I figured when you use the [Control]+[c] keyboard shortcut to copy files

to the clipboard, I could place them on the client's PC using the same

Push Clipboard option?

Doesn't work.

Maybe I'm missing a step or something here, so I'm coming to the list

for guidance.

If the NVDA Remote Access add-on isn't able to perform such actions, is

there another remote app I can use that does allow this type of file

copying flexibility? Copying files from the server PC to the client's PC.

I'm using:

NVDA Version: 2020.2beta1

Windows Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.329)

on a high-end Dell XPS PC.

Thanks for any assistance.

-Kenny

I have a long link that I need someone at the other end of an NVDA Remote session to use, and the computer on which it is to be used doesn't have an email client, so I can't just send it to them. Does NVDA Remote allow copying and pasting between local and remote computers? In other words, can I copy the link to my clipboard, connect to the remote computer, and through some special key combination, paste it on the other end's machine somewhere?

Thank you. Didn't know about that one.

Hey folks.



I'm running a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with Windows 10 2004, and NVDA is
updated to latest stable channel build. I've got a Focus Braille display
attached to the computer via USB (no bluetooth adaptor currently in the
computer).

The laptop is a new acquisition for me and being semi-mobile with a
braille
display and a tool to read and write on is one of the chief reasons I got
the thing. I do a fair amount of reading of documents, books, easearch
materials and so on. I usually convert everything to plain text and read in
notepad, which has worked fine on my desktop. However, the laptop does not
count reading on a braille display as "activity", it seems, and goes to
sleep after several minutes. I've adjusted the time factor, but I'm
wondering if there is any way I can convince the computer that reading on
the display counts as "activity", since I do appreciate these battery
saving
features and so on, but it's annoying when after ten or fifteen m inutes of
reading the machine just needs to be reawoken, re-signed in, etc. I know
this wouldn't happen if I had the computer perform some simple task like
playing music or something, but I feel like I shouldn't *have* to do this
or
tap on the keyboard every so often just to let it now to stay awake. Any
ideas?

Again, I'm aware that I could just increase the time alotment or even tell
it never to go to sleep, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can take
advantage of these power-saving features somewhat and still get what I
want?

You might be able to set the cursor to follow the braille display as you read, which would send cursor movement events to the application and therefore keep the system from suspending.

Jo a;;.

 

StationPlaylist add-on 20.06.2 emergency update is now available. This is an out of band update that resolves a critical error encountered where Studio app module portion of the add-on would not start.

 

Cheers,

Georgi,

            You are quite welcome.   I would also suggest that you use whatever mechanism is available in Webroot SecureAnywhere to contact them and ask that NVDA be whitelisted or, at the very least, examined and that they stop marking it as any sort of threat.   There are false positives all the time, and once they're reported they generally get remedied very quickly.

I strongly suspect that this is some sort of weird interaction between something that came preinstalled on your machine, most likely security related, and Chrome and NVDA.

There are several ways you could proceed.

1. Turning off your security software, temporarily, and if that requires rebooting then reboot, and see if the issue goes away.

2.  Make sure you have already set up sound in safe mode with networking (See: Getting Sound in Safe Mode Under Windows 10) then see if the behavior occurs if you boot into Safe Mode.  This avoids loading an awful lot of startup processes to begin with.

3. If either of the above fixes the issue, you will then need to follow the proper procedure to go through the process of elimination to find out what exactly is the root cause of the problem.  What that is varies, so until more data is available it's really not worth going into the details.

Hello NVDA community,



This is my first post here, and sadly it's about a problem with NVDA I
encountered today that I'd like to get some opinions about.



I've been an NVDA user for a couple of years mostly on an Apple
MacBook Pro running Windows 10 on Bootcamp or on a Del XPS 13 and I
have never experienced what I will describe below. Today I've got a
brand new work computer - a Lenovo X1 Carbon with Windows 10, Lenovo
drivers, Chrome, Slack, Webroot SecureAnywhere and Umbrella Roaming
Client by Cisco already preinstalled.

I initially installed an older version of NVDA that I had lying around
on a flash drive, which I immediately updated to the newest official
version thereafter.

When opened Chrome, I noticed that it reads through the pages in
browse mode, it can switch between Browse and Focus modes and it
recognizes links, forms and other controls, but none of the single
navigation keystrokes like H, E, N, NVDA+Space and other similar keys
or key combinations work. Even the NVDA+1 key doesn't want to turn
help navigation on, same for the NVDA+N keystrokes combination.

Once I exit Chrome everything goes back to Normal and NVDA starts
responding as it should.



I tried the same with Microsoft Edge and it works - NVDA can
successfully intercept and process single navigation keys and key
combinations without issues jumping through headings, focusing edit controls, etc.



What I tried so far:

* Reinstalling NVDA a few times (both Version 2020.1, 2020.2 Beta 1
and snapshot builds),
* Deleting the %appdata%\nvda directory after each uninstallation,
* Reinstalling Chrome Version 83.0.4103.106 (Official Build) (64-bit),
* Running the Windows 10 file check scanner through Powershell as
described here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-ch
ecker- tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system
* Installing the latest update for Windows 10 Version 2004 (OS Build
19041.329) and all available security and driver updates through
Windows update.
* Running the Com Registration Fixing Tool a few times.



After one of the first NVDA or Chrome reinstallations, I managed to
get it working somehow, but after I kept customising my NVDA the way I
like it, after one of the subsequent reboots, the problem reappeared
and no reinstallations of Chrome or NVDA managed to fix it ever since.

There is nothing in the log viewer, neither in normal, nor in
debugging mode and I am out of ideas.



If you have any suggestions of things for me to try, please let me know.



Best Regards,

Georgi.
