Re: Rearrange Pinned Items
For rearranging pinned items on the taskbar I really recommend using the mouse with left click and drag even if you cannot see, after you've routed the mouse to the screen reader object. Though things can be dragged in to the taskbar from the desktop to create a pinned item, the reverse is not true. Pinned items in the taskbar can only be removed or moved left and right relative to each other.
Though you may have to give it a couple of tries to get a sense of how far your mouse moves in the taskbar relative to how far you've moved it left/right with the left mouse button held, you can safely practice moving these icons around, checking their order, and lather, rinse, repeat until you've got the order you want. Though drag and drop with unconstrained 4-directional movement and movement in and out of windows with focus is an absolute nightmare for a blind user, bidirectional constrained movement within something like the taskbar is significantly easier and practice does make perfect, or something near to it. This is one of those rare times when actually using the mouse fully as intended works because of exactly what you're trying to do and the inability to drag something out of the taskbar. But it does take some playing around, as mouse movement speed and the like can vary from computer to computer. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Re: accessible way of moving playlists to folders in spotify?

I only played with the attachment a little bit but I’m not sure it does
anything more than the method for dragging and dropping already available in
NVDA.

Re: accessible way of moving playlists to folders in spotify?
Since it is electron I doubt it will work. I have not had any luck using this add on for dragging dropping stuff, at all. Not to say it does not work, but for me it has worked maybe 1 time out of the 10 or so I’ve used it.

It seems that when I try to mark a playlist, then drop it into the relevant folder I get a can't drop here error. I am not sure if this add on will work with spotify playlists, but I will give it more of a road-test. On 23/11/2021 19:39, Brian Vogel wrote:

Re: Rearrange Pinned Items
The drag and drop add on actually does not help. Most of the time my curser is not above like it shows. I verify this with the keys that the add on gives.

With any luck someone else who uses the add-on, Spotify, or both will chime in. I've never touched Spotify, so I'm a dead end there.

Re: accessible way of moving playlists to folders in spotify?
Orhan,
Just FYI, this add-on is compatible with 2021.3 and, in addition, does have help/usage information packaged with it that you can access via gaining focus the add-on in Add-Ons Manager (NVDA + N, T, A, Enter) then activating the Add-On Help button. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Re: accessible way of moving playlists to folders in spotify?
Orhan,
I mentioned the following just last night in a topic about Rearranging Task Bar Items, but since you weren't a member then, you would not have seen it. Javi Dominguez has written an add-on for Drag and Drop, which others have said is very helpful. And by that I mean helpful in achieving actual drag and drop regardless of the context. It would be worth a try. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F. Kennedy

accessible way of moving playlists to folders in spotify?
Orhan Deniz
Hello there, I'm aware that drag+drop in browse mode rarely works. Has anyone however found a way to move playlists to designated folders in spotify? As a bit of a dj its important for me to have stuff filed properly and currently what I have to do is create a new playlist in the folder, copy the old playlist, then delete it. Needless to say this is cumbersome when in theory I should be able to just move them. But of course, cut+paste commands only work within playlists, not to move playlists to folders.
Best, Orhan.

Re: Is the Windows 10 (and, I'd presume, 11) Sandbox Feature Accessible?
Hi, Regarding keyboard shortcuts, it will feel like logging onto a Remote Desktop session - you would press Control+Alt+Break (Pause) key to switch between host (the computer you are using) and guest (sandboxed environment). The way I run NVDA (or for that matter, any screen reader other than Narrator) inside Windows Sandbox is:
You can also do all these with Narrator on - just before opening the folder in the guest environment (just after performing step 3), press Control+Windows+Enter while switched to the guest environment to start Narrator inside the sandbox. When NVDA starts, close Narrator. I belive Windows Sandbox was covered somewhat on WinAccess forum (may need to check the archive for that one). Cheers, Joseph

Re: Is the Windows 10 (and, I'd presume, 11) Sandbox Feature Accessible?
Lukasz,
That was very helpful indeed. I doubt that anything more could be said about how one goes about gaining accessibility inside Windows Sandbox. I don't use it, and it is clearly a VM-ish sort of environment, but it behaves even more like a true VM than I had suspected. It appears you get a perfectly "clean slate" on invocation and must do any necessary setup each time. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Since it is a separate Windows instance it is necessary to start a screen reader inside Sandbox so first Narrator with an appropriate key combination and then if desired you can install NVDA as you would on a fresh installation of Windows. -- HTH Lukasz

Since the question of whether it's accessible with NVDA, or any screen reader really, is on-topic for this group, I thought I'd post that here hoping that a definitive yes/no answer might be forthcoming. If further discussion about how one actually uses the Windows Sandbox is desired, then please continue that on the Chat Subgroup in the topic, Sandbox Feature of Windows. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. ~ John F.

Hello there,
The only restriction that Reaper gives without you purchasing it is a window that you can close after four seconds on first start of the software per session that basically says that Reaper is not free, and that you should purchase it because that would help them greatly. Except that, Reaper can be used without buying a license as far as I know, I am using it without a problem, and I’ve had it for more than a year.
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Quentin Christensen
I did give you the links so you could investigate for yourself... There's a "download" link which tells you the evaluation lasts for 60 days and a purchase link which tells you that a license costs $60 for a personal license (and $225 for a commercial license).
I don't know the restrictions of the free version, but they do encourage you to download the free version first to ensure it meets your needs. Do check it out and let us know what you think.
Kind regards
Quentin.
