Hi Brian, I like the other way personally, where it changes. The reason I do is because I use ChromeVox and that doesn’t have a forms or browse mode at all, it simply has shortcuts that are not

Google maps may not actually allow you to explore a map by touch, but it will give you directions and all of the text portions of the app are accessible.

It depends on the screen-reader you use. You can't use control insert f interchangeably with the application search in JAWS if you are not in the Virtual PC cursor. You may be able to with NVDA but

Be it with Jaws or NVDA, I use the insert+control+F command. If for nothing else, for the simple fact that this way, it’s only one keystroke command I have to remember using and not worry about

The problem is that Jaws uses as it own keystrokes some Windows keystrokes... By instance, some people think that Control+F in a browser is a Jaws command and not a Windows command... Because you

The JAWS find is control f. They made it the same for consistency. The Window-eyes find is control shift f and you know the NVDA command. Gene

Darn. then the next time I turn on my computer it will be lost. I'll have to reproduce the isue, then send the log over. I can wait. and yeah this has happened now two times in the past 2 weeks. Tc

We know this, but I don't think many of us use it. I was trained to use the windows find when I first got a computer in 2002 and I've used it ever since. so for me over the past almost 20 years it

It is the only approach that seems to work reliably for "the uninitiated." That's all I really need to know. It also seems to be the only way that's working reliably for quite a few of the very

I just wanted you to excuse me if I've wrote my last answer on a not common way that I'd write other ones. I'm just tired of hitting shift+delete, you know. But that's fine, if we agree with

Just to add here, the search box in question was Telegram's, not the find search box. Though now that I say that, I just tried it again on a different website (youtube this

Hah, you've clearly not read all the comments in this thread then if you're making that claim. I was told very specificlaly that the screen reaer find command was the only way to find

I just tried that method here 5 times. I know the text was actually on the page - for reference, this was a telegram window in chrome. I searched for a person's name with control f. After

You answered your own question in your email. There are several usage levels on the list, some folks are new, some are long time users, and everyone is probably at a different level on

You can only retrieve the log from one restart ago, at %temp%\nvda-old.log. This has been an ongoing, annoying problem for NVDA for years. It was considerably worse before some UIA changes went in to

I have tried escape a number of times. I'm not sure if it ever worked but it is not consistent. I think it worked once and failed two or three times. Besides, what is being discussed in terms of

Hi I tried ctrl+f on the Opera browser and It opens a “Find in page” fox, into which I type my search criteria, press enter , then escape and indeed, it takes me to the first occurrence of my

It's F3 to find again, not control-f, and shift-f3 to find backwards, (again, not control-f), but honestly, if you folks have trouble with control-f, then by all means, ignore it, but you

Which is fine if you know exactly what to expect. For anyone who already uses the technique, is comfortable with it, and may be teaching someone else - in which case they'll be teaching the
