Re: NVDA 2021.3.1 cursor doesn't move in Google product edit fields

I haven’t tested with the browsers you have named but the Brave browser, another Chrome-based browser, displays this behavior in the Google search edit field.  I haven’t tried other edit fields. 
 
Firefox doesn’t display this behavior.

Hi.  When I type into Google product edit fields like the search fields in Youtube or Google search, I can't move the cursor around the text using the ARROW KEYS unless I TAB out of and back into the edit field.  I tried both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome with the same result, but they are both chromium-based browsers.  I only have those browsers installed on my computer, and they are both up-to-date.  This doesn't happen in other edit fields like the Windows search box.  I'm using Windows 10 Pro Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1466), NVDA 2021.3.1, Microsoft Edge Version 97.0.1072.62 (Official build) (64-bit), and Google Chrome Version 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (64-bit).  Has anyone else come across this?

Not only that, but if you learn to use the ribbons as they are, instructions intended for sighted folks may be all you need to find things from then on, because You’ve done the work to learn to use the native interface with your screenreader.

When a sighted person uses an alternate interface to ribbons,

I will again emphasize, I have never seen a single "alternate interface" to the ribbons within programs or within things like File Explorer for the sighted.  It's virtually certain that somewhere, such exists, but these have never gained anything approaching wide acceptance if they are out there.  I've been working with Windows since the very first version, throughout the menu driven period, and now for all the years of the ribbon-driven period.  I have never seen anything that tries to make the ribbons back into menus for sighted users.  Just trying to do the visual overlay would be an absolute nightmare, I'd imagine.

The overarching philosophy in computing is that it is always best to, "Go with the flow of the native interface currently offered."  Many of us, including the sighted, have hated some of the changes as they've come along, but that's always been irrelevant.  At least the vast majority of the sighted have simply bitten the bullet and learned to use "what's happenin' now" and kept doing so as this changes in either evolutionary or revolutionary ways.  The notable exceptions to that rule being things like Classic Shell, Open Shell, Start10, and similar which attempt to make the Windows OS presentation, and specifically the start menu, look and feel like what existed under Windows 7.  But these shells do not extend much beyond that, and certainly do not have anything to do with the ribbons in Windows functions nor application programs.

It's often neither easy, nor pleasant, but it is necessary.  If someone actually knows of a "Ribbon Skinner" for the sighted, please point me to it, as I'd actually love to see what tortured method would be used to make an alternative that still allows access to the full complement of functions in a given program's ribbon.

That's a bit like the virtual ribbon in JAWS.

I personally don't think it's the screen reader's job to change the interface to a program, except for example, virtual windows like web pages. I don't think there is any need to change the user experience of a program itself, it leads to possible support problems when Microsoft disability for example, try to support the user.

Good luck with the add-on, but I think a better approach is to learn the ribbon system.

All the best

Subject: [nvda] for people that don't like ribbon in office, new addon: ribbon explorer

Hello,
Just a message to inform you that a new addon is born...
This is still in development stage and is for all people that don't like ribbon.
So, probably for 95% of you :-)))

Alberto Buffolino developed an addon to enhance experience with Ribbon menu. Only in Office products, for the moment.

I copy directly from the readme:

Important things to consider:
1. this add-on is in development;
2. confirmed (by users) to work on Microsoft Office 2019, 365 and 2021; 3. compatibility for old NVDA/Office versions is not guaranteed.
Usage
Simply install, open an Office application, press Alt to access Ribbon, and familiarize with new menu layout.
You can use arrows, tab, enter, esc, quite like in a normal menu.
Alt+down/upArrow are supported too, for expanding some controls.
If there are problems (please report), or you want temporarily interact without add-on assistance, press NVDA+space.

Some useful links:
download development version from
https://github.com/ABuffEr/ribbonExplorer/releases/download/dev/ribbonExplorer-20220112-dev.nvda-addon

For support please use the github page:

Have fun!

Devin,

Thanks.  Though I will say that the link I gave was correct, taken directly from the Freelists subscription page.

Why in heaven's name they didn't use either a capital 'L', to make that clear, or a font that differentiates lowercase 'l' from uppercase 'I' I do not know.  I thought it was someone's catchy idea for not spelling out 'eye'.

But when you are actually reading that page the 'l' after the "program-" and the "I" in "V.I." are visually indistinguishable.

Gabe,

You are highly unlikely to get an answer to your queries (which are good ones) on this group since it is almost entirely composed of end users and is focused on end users of NVDA.

You really need to be asking this on a blind developer list, of which there are many.  One of the most recently recommended is the Program-I List for Visually Impaired Developers on freelists.org.  If Jackie and Joseph Lee both like it, that's recommendation enough for me.  I would strongly suggest you join and start asking away there, as the community is dedicated to just these sorts of questions.

Re: for people that don't like ribbon in office, new addon: ribbon explorer

Brian and all


Whenever I hear about a nonstandard interface, I wonder if functionality is lost and what it is.  I'm not assuming anything about this alternate interface but I think that is something that should be asked about any alternate interface.


Also, this quoted statement is incorrect when  applied to ribbons:

"But then, like sight people can do, we can have a different type of approach and interface."


When a sighted person uses an alternate interface to ribbons, he/she can use the standard one, but doesn't like it.  In the case of blind people, a lot will use the alternate interface and not know how to use ribbons.  That is an important consideration because, as I wrote yesterday, using a nonstandard interface may limit a blind person's use of instructional material and the effectiveness of using help available on lists like this.

Which right there is the nonsense part.  I am sighted, we don't, and can't, have a different type of approach without the use of things like Classic Shell, Start10, or similar and that does NOT extend to the ribbon interface in programs.

I am universally critical of all of these "skinning" type programs (whether visible skinning or virtual skinning) because the only thing I've seen them do is create unawareness of how to use native interfaces, plain and simple.

They exist, people have the absolute right to use them, and I have the absolute right to discuss why I think they are very bad ideas and to get people to consider whether they actually want to use them or not, which is all I was trying to do.

Version 22.01 of Joseph Lee's add-ons: now available via Add-on Updater and on community add-ons website

Joseph Lee
 

Hello everyone,

Version 22.01 of the following add-ons are now available via Add-on Updater and on community add-ons website:

  • Add-on Updater
  • Clock
  • Control Usage Assistant
  • Enhanced Touch Gestures
  • GoldWave
  • Resource Monitor
  • StationPlaylist
  • Windows App Essentials

 

In addition, a number of add-ons were also updated.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following add-ons are no longer actively maintained: Clock, Enhanced Touch Gestures, GoldWave, Resource Monitor, StationPlaylist. In case of Clock add-on, it is not my own.
  • Control Usage Assistant is now maintained by Noelia Martinez.
  • Add-on Updater: as I announced a few weeks ago, a future version of Add-on Updater will require NVDA 2021.3 or later. To prepare the community, starting from January 20, 2022, Add-on Updater will not offer updated versions of itself if you are using NVDA 2021.2 or earlier. Also, when it comes to issues when checking for NVDA updates on older releases, in addition to downloading NVDA 2021.3.1 manually, you can resolve this by installing Add-on Updater 21.10 or later (in this case, 22.01) from community add-ons website. At this point, I seriously encourage everyone to install a utility to update NVDA add-ons, including Add-on Updater.
  • Windows App Essentials: version 22.01 is the final version to support Windows 10 Version 20H2 (October 2020 Update). The next version of this add-on will require Version 21H1 (May 2021 Update) or later. At this point I urge everyone to at least upgrade to 21H1, or better yet, 21H2 (Version 20H2 will be supported for consumers until May 2022).

 

Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

The answer is simple:  It doesn't keep coming back.

What's happening is the stragglers who are not updating on a timely basis, nor reading the forum about identified issues like this one, hit the issue much later than the majority and think it's new.  That, and only that, is the problem here.

This bug was solved, and remains solved.  I have yet to hear of a single, solitary person who's installed 2021.3 or later, even if they intentionally rolled back to an earlier version after having done so, having this update issue recur.

And with this post, the topic is locked.  This was not intended to be a discussion, but a way to let those who remained on earlier versions who are now encountering the update issue how to solve it.  And the solution is downloading the installer for the latest NVDA and running it, NOT trying to update from within NVDA itself in those earlier versions because since the problem lies with that mechanism that just doesn't work.
 
There is absolutely no reason to remove any user settings or add-ons to solve THIS particular problem, and it is a complete waste of time and effort to do so.

If you want to remove NVDA totally.

Just make sure the NVDA folder in program files x86\ NVDA and users\ your account\ apt data\ roaming\ NVDA are deleted.

Then when you reinstall it will find nothing left and install like new.

Without removing the apt data\ roaming\ NVDA folder. All problems with last install will still be there.

may take some time doing a clean remove, but you will waste less time and set it up better.

i never keep program settings, because that may be where the problem is.

We seem to keep having cycles of "the update issue" which is well known, and already solved, popping up again and again.  I am hoping this Admin Notice will help those who might encounter the issue to fix it just from having read this message.  Please file this if you are using NVDA 2021.1 or 2021.2 (or even some earlier version of NVDA) as you will almost assuredly need this information.

The update problem is cause by a certificate issue and a Windows-based certificate.  It is not a problem with NVDA, per se, but something that NVDA is seeking from Windows when trying to update.  This issue is fixed, permanently, with NVDA Version 2023.1.  The current version of NVDA as of this writing is 2021.3.1.

You cannot fix this problem by trying to update/upgrade from within NVDA, as that's the part that's broken.  You MUST download the latest version of NVDA from NVAccess and use that installer.   For NVDA 2021.3.1, the direct download link for the NVDA installer is:

https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/releases/2021.3.1/nvda_2021.3.1.exe 

[As an aside, if you're ever looking for an older version of NVDA, just change the "2021.3.1" in both places in the URL with the version number you want.]

After you have the installer in hand, you can either uninstall the current version and then run the new installer (preferable), or do an install-over install by just running the new installer.  Both have worked in my experience, but the former is the one that ensures you are "clean as a whistle" before going forward.

If, by chance, you really need to be on a version of NVDA that is prior to 2021.3.1, then you can reinstall it afterward, and the issue that was causing the update to stall previously will still be fixed, as it is fixed by the certificate tweaking that the installer for 2021.3.1 does in folders not belonging to NVDA.  You can use the download link given above with the  release number changed to the release you want to get.

I have another problem with the SentenceNav add-on settings panel. This seems to be a problem that only appears visually, not in speech.

What happens is that some of the settings (from "Sentence breakers" down to "Disaple SentenceNav in applications") are all shown on top of the first setting ("Volume of chime when crossing paragraph border"). Because they are on top of each other, only the last one of them is visible.

When I check the program, it seems that all the setting elements that are created via sHelper (gui.guiHelper.BoxSizerHelper) and all the settings with sliders (which use settingSizer, the second argument to the makeSettings) get some space, but all the other settings don't get space.

Because this is a problem of on-screen layout, it may be very difficult to debug. I'm ready to help as much as I can, but any advice regarding layout of settings dialogs is appreciated.

Re: for people that don't like ribbon in office, new addon: ribbon explorer

Simone Dal Maso
 

Hello,
just a short answer.
This addon was developed with the idea that people can choose a different type of interface.
All people should know how ribbon work and read tutorials and so on.
But then, like sight people can do, we can have a different type of approach and interface.

For example, I know very well the file explorer ribbon interface of windows10 and windows11. I teach this too, since I make lessons for visual impaired.
But on my computer, I use all utilities that remove the stupid ribbon interface and give me the classic menu bar.
This because ribbon for me is a terrible interface. So I have the opportunity to remove it, and my brain thanks me!
But it absolutely be clear that people must know them.
Anyway, I simply wrote a message to inform the list of this addon. I'm not involved on its development.

Indeed.  But the way to determine what those "some other things" might be is by analyzing error messages and/or logs.

As a general rule, always, you need to supply the specific error message text and/or codes when you get them.

Saying to a potential assistant, "I got an error message, can you fix it," is akin to telling someone who can't see you and has no idea where you are on the surface of the earth, "I live on land, can you find me."

Specificity is necessary, not optional, when tech solutions are being sought.  That's the point I'm trying to make.

to use NVDA OCR, the up and down aero keys doesn’t work, at 1st, I
thaught
it’s the problem in the latest version of NVDA, and I downgraded to
2021.3,
but the problem was still there, then I restarted my NVDA with addons
disabled, and the keys were working properly, then, I enabled the addons
1
by 1, and I found this bug with Browser nav addon, please fix it.

Hello,

Thanks Tony, your add-on is very useful to me, thank you for your great
creation. For sound segmentation, is it possible to place the NVDA
sound
separately on the left or right channel without changing the multimedia
sound? This is useful for enjoying stereo resources.

Thanks again

I certainly hope so.

I have, on occasions, been called upon to install special builds to test fixes to bugs I've reported.  I've always just slapped those in and then slapped the production version back in afterward without ever backing up a single user setting or add-on I have installed.

They just stay there.
