Re: still some carricter help

I don't know why you are getting those
results. What you are hearing doesn't match how NVDA is supposed to
work. If you hold the numpad insert and press numpad 1, you should hear
something about no more review modes if you are in the last mode you can move
back to. But if the numpad insert were being held or were stuck on, you
shouldn't be able to use f5 to spell the current word. That command
requires that numpad insert not be on.
As I said, I don't know what the problem is but why
not try a portable copy either of the current version of NVDA or of the last
version that worked properly? It's always a good idea to have a portable
version of an earlier version of NVDA that worked
properly on your machine. Every time you upgrade, there is a risk of
something not working properly and if you keep a portable version that worked
properly, you can run it when you need it and try to solve the problem with the
new version of NVDA if you wish but still be able to do what you
want.
I don't know if this is an NVEDA problem or
something else. Testing with a portable version of the last version of
NVDA that worked properly will tell you. If it works properly, it's an
NVDA problem and you may want to try completely uninstalling and reinstalling
NVDA. If the portable version no longer works properly, then your problem
is something else.
Someone else will tell you how to completely
uninstall NVDA if you need to know. I've never done it and don't have the
description that has been given on the list on my computer.

says absolutely nothing. I tried numpad arrow twice quickly and it spells the word but again doesn't let me arrow through the word by carricter. Do you know why the capslock arrow key doesn't work like it did in NVDA 15? Also in NVDA 16.1 doesn't the NVDA shift z work? Have they changed the key sequence?

It was great fun for me too to be a part of the recent Accessible World Techtalk presentation, and am thankful to Joseph for the same. Just like this recent Techtalk event related to NVDA, I would encourage everyone to participate in this, and future events, including the NVDACon International 2016, of course. Looking forward to seeing you out there, Scott, and many others. Thanks.

Hello Joseph and all.
First of all I wanted to say thanks Joseph, that was fun to listen to. I will have to reinstall the plugin though because I tried to talk and it didn't work i think. But, thanks again. Maybe some day I'll actually get to talk to you all in voice during one of these things. I'm planning to be there during at least some of the nvda con sessions. Sounds like it'll be fun. Well, that is all for now. Talk to you all later. Scott V
