Well said, Felix, well said.
It would be way better if people which think this way could understand that, when it comes to programs and its improvements, the more, the better.

Re: Meandering NVDA Miscellany (including that it's alive and well)
I second this.
Actually, NVDA is my only one screen reader for now (and I believe it'll keep this way, I just can't find another as good as this one).
So for the folks on NVDA developing

Re: Meandering NVDA Miscellany (including that it's alive and well)
My understanding is that NV Access employed a new CEO last year, that they have developers who are paid to improve NVDA, and that they're still working hard on the project. If there's any

My recollection is that the reader button wasn't accessible but it was always accessible from the view menu.

Hence the reason it was eventually changed. It was bad because it was a three-key press shortcut, too. That is irrelevant to someone using Windows XP and a version of Firefox that's quite old as

Re: Meandering NVDA Miscellany (including that it's alive and well)
It isn't difficult to use two screen-readers, especially if you use one as a second screen-reader for doing things like web browsing. Most of the commands you use with screen-readers are the same

Re: Webpages and changing order of hearing control types like "link," etc.
If that shortcut key was retained after development, it was bad design. Control alt is a standard Windows hotkey option and other programs shouldn't use control alt as part of shortcut commands

Re: Meandering NVDA Miscellany (including that it's alive and well)
Boy, do I *ever* agree w/that! Same can be said for web browsers.
Being blind sucks in that regard, & there are just no 2 ways about it,
though I suspect sometimes sighted folks are forced to jump

I'd like to see NVDA live for a very long time. I too am grateful to the developers for all the wonderful work they put into it.

Re: Webpages and changing order of hearing control types like "link," etc.
Open the view menu with v. Up arrow to reader view. See if a short cut key is given. If there isn't one, then there probably isn't one. My recollection is that f9 is not a shortcut key option.
