Brian and Gene, can we kill this topic or take it off list. To much back and forth. Thanks, Brian B.

I didn't say what I said to say that one screen-reader is better. I'm saying that Window-eyes, in this respect, is superior because settings aren't automatically saved. But beyond that,

Yes, what you say is correct about programs in general but a screen-reader is somewhat different than typical programs. In a screen-reader, people often want to change settings temporarily

Same here, I’m using the latest version of NVDA, JFW 2021 on this windows ten computer! Sent from Mail for Windows

Hi there: I can’t argue here. I used Jaws since I got a computer. I did try a demo of window eyes. I found it too bulkie. I ran home to JFW because I didn’t know window eyes. In my neck of the

- Gene, I suggest you look at how the Settings under Windows 10 & 11, Microsoft Office, most web browsers, and the list goes on and on these days work. The era of having to hit even so much as a Save

Try going through the settings and make sure they are what you want. Because they have made updates to edge.

I didn't say I am always right. But when I express an opinion, if I think it is right, I will state it and stand by it unless I am convinced by opinions and/or facts that it is wrong.

I'll point out, though arguing from authority doesn't prove a thing is right, that still, one of the most respected instructors in the field expressed the opinion that Window-eyes was better

- And, Gene, your beliefs about this are not, contrary to your own opinion, always right. Therein lies the problem, even though your don't see it as one. And no, you need not qualify everything with,

I can state an opinion about what should be the case without always qualifying it by saying something like others may disagree, etc. This sort of thing is done constantly. See editorial

Hi, A better way might be to say that: Sleep mode is application instance specific, or, in technical terms, process specific. There are programs that use one instance to display multiple windows,

That's fine. My apologies as I somehow missed that message. David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist Subscribe to the Tech-VI announcement list to receive emails regarding news

That's correct.  I said in my message something about if you haven't shut down NVDA for that reason.  Its also a reason that I strongly believe that the default setting should be changed.  By

- David, Please re-read what Gene said earlier. He made the explicit statement, "and the new settings haven't been permanently saved." The mechanism of permanent saving, whether an application

Pressing NVDA-ctrl-R isn't always a guarantee that you'll be able to revert back to a previous setting as a user could have saved a configuration, exited and then later restarted NVDA. In that case

Thanks this is the correct place to disable shortcut keys. I don't know what keystroke I accidently hit to mess up my settings. I will remember the insert control r for the next time these old stiff

I haven't played with the setting to see if this is the applicable one, but it appears to be in object presentation, report object shortcut keys. Even if that is the

Hi. The insert-4 shortcut toggles the speaking of command keys that you type, such as keys accompanied by the control key, but not the speaking of shortcut keys for options in an application.
