Re: More flexible line length in browsing mode
Gene
In browse mode, you can set the line length. The default is
one-hundred carachters. I suppose it would be possible to have a read by
sentence option but I don’t know if there is any .demand for that. And it
would conflict with sentences in which there are links and you have NVDA set to
read every link on its own line.

Re: NVDA speechless on the enter key in Wordpad
I think one of mine said “return” or “new line” or nothing at all. and now I can’t remember which one as that might have been in 1987 or so.

Thank you Dina, Gene, and Brian for all your suggestions. I am curious at to what the technical barriers exist for NVDA being unable to simply say ‘New Line’ for the enter key. Is it because of the lookahead it has to perform for the ‘line feed’ character? If that is the case, I would still be happy if it said ‘carriage return’ like it does when I move up and down lines in my Wordpad file.
Warmly, Mani .

I don't know how that TB configuration got created. I didn't do it on purpose and I don't think it did anything I needed.- A classic example of why my advice to all my clients, about any sort of software, setting, etc., is if your answer when someone asks, "Do you use {insert thing here}?," is either "no," or, "I don't know," the probability that you actually need it is virtually zero. Most people remember that they created something, or installed something, even if the details may be hazy. But having no recall means it's almost certainly something that was either unintentionally created or, in the case of a lot of pre-installed software, falls into the class of bloatware that almost no one uses. Bloatware is one of the reasons that many technicians do a completely clean reinstall of Windows 10 or Windows 11 as the first thing they do with a brand new machine.

I have seen people jumping from PC to Mac, PC to Linux, and vice versa with each of those often believing that "the grass is greener on the other side." It isn't, at least on the whole. And when you walk away from what you already know "in every fiber of your being" after years of using whatever ecosystem you've been using you end up with a period where frustration is high because things you used to do without thinking no longer work that way. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Re: NVDA OCR - Can you save the text result somehow?
benmoxey@...
Hi everyone
In addition to Rui’s excellent add-on, if you only want to easily access the text content of the active window, try Virtual Review. Once installed, you can press NVDA + Control + W to place all text in the current window into a virtual buffer. Then, you can select, copy, paste etc. When done, press Escape to return to the window.
Check it out on the official add-ons page:
Virtual Review (nvda-project.org)
Cheers
Ben

Re: Volume in Thunderbird

Yes, Gene. it was exactly as you described. So when I was in thunderbird, I could not access the volume control. When I flipped to the volume control it changed to the normal configuration and all was OK. So I couldn't figure out how to change the volume while the TB configuration was active.
