Brian,

I've tried the same thing on my wife's computer with her keyboard and the same thing happens,.

Can this be replicated if you use a different keyboard?

I ask only because of how many "intermittently sticky" command keys I've encountered over the years as a computer repair person.  I'm not saying there is not a bug, but you should use a different keyboard, and preferably one you know to be behaving well, as a diagnostic step.  If the behavior does not persist, suspect your keyboard is going wonky.  And they can do this in stages where everything works fine then you have a brief period of "sticky command key" then it releases.  It's definitely not always an all or nothing situation, which makes it hard to diagnose sometimes.

Hello, good luck.

I don't think IDEs running as web services are efficient.

Because the codes are difficult to navigate.

I recommend getting used to CMD, Python Console and NVDA's cursor / navigation system.

Hi all,

 

I am starting to learn the Python programming language and I have been making efforts to use the “Python anywhere” online browser. I have managed to register and achieve a user name and password. I have also managed, with some difficulty, to get into my dashboard and open a console. I may be using the wrong commands but I am finding it difficult to work with the command window.

 

Have any members on this list used Python anywhere successfully?

 

All the best,

 

Cearbhall

Hi everyone.

I believe this might have been mentioned before, but sometimes when pasting text using the clipboard history menu, either the control key will stick, or it'll just insert the letter v.

It only happens with NVDA. I don't have either of these issues with Narrator.

I have tested this with all add-ons disabled with the same result.

I'm running Windows 10 Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.450) and NVDA version 2020.2. The same happens with the current NVDA alpha, which at time of writing is version alpha-20763,1ef4dfb0.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance,

Kara

Yes, trouble is, I can’t get to the menu with insert+n and then preferences.

In preferences you can set CAPS LOCK as the NVDA/insert key

I Have installed NVDA on a machine which has a bluetooth keyboard and I can’t find the insert key, not sure if it has one, it is the Apple style layout.

 

I Need to bring up the NVDA menu to go in to the options and change the keyboard layout to be laptop but I can’t perform an instert+n, does anyone know of another way to bring up the NVDA menu please?

This is generally caused by something closing NVDA unexpectedly, such as it crashing, or if you go to task manager and "End task" it. I haven't seen it
when restarting or updating add-ons. I wonder if it is a particular add-on which is not letting NVDA shut down cleanly?
If anyone replicates this, ideally with the log set to debug level, I'd be interested in your nvda-old.log file (the one from when NVDA didn't shut down
properly).
