I agree, laptop keyboards are a pain.  I have been using a desktop wireless keyboard with my laptop for years and it is great.  I also use a wireless headset Jlab Neon wireless Bluetooth headset.  With the two wireless keyboard and headset I can sit comfortably away from laptop and use it.

To be honest, I have noticed that laptop keyboards have gotten harder and harder to use.

Mouse or no mouse.

There is a way of typing so you don't rest your hands on the pad but a lot of keys are half keys.

I don't care for laptop boards but that could also be tdue to the fact that while at home I use a gaming board and don't need to bother about the laptop.

That suggestion points to a possible solution, but not the one suggested.  However, pointing to the possible solution is useful and may result in the problem being solved. 

 

The only way that idea makes sense is if a mouse pad is active on a laptop or if something is moving a physical mouse connected to a computer.  In that case, turning mouse tracking off won't help to a meaningful extent.  The mouse pad must either be turned off or physically blocked by something covering it or the physical mouse must be disconnected or placed in such a way that it is no longer changing its position.  Not doing so will cause loss of focus as the mouse pad moves focus to wherever it is moved, such as to the task bar or desktop or somewhere else.  Turning mouse tracking off won't solve that problem.

Press NVDA+ctrl+m and uncheck Enable mouse tracking.
See if that fixes it. My guess is you're moving the mouse, and it's reading.

Since I also have the same problem in the "save as" dialog, is there anything you could suggest for saving new files that I create?

This is based on Windows Basics and is not limited to any one program. Since you can't see information in the dialog, have all the files go to the same place, then move them where you want using Computer or file Explorer.
For convenience, make a folder or use one that already exists off the c drive with a short easy to type name.  For example, if you are saving a file, open the save as dialog.  Type c:\sound\name of file followed by a period, then the extension.  In this example, you have created a folder called sound while in the c drive folder, not in a subfolder.  For example:
c:\sound\Big Girls Don't Cry.mid
Read the example carachter by character.

Hi Richard,
Since I also have the same problem in the "save as" dialog, is there
anything you could suggest for saving new files that I create?

default midi editor, use the open with dialog to open the file in QWS.
This is my way of getting things done when NVDA doesn't read what I need.
