Well, Now that I've gotten this quick folder addon downloaded, I can't figure out how to install the thing. I went to add manager, but couldn't figure out how to install it. I'm sureit's easy, but not for me.

Please help

Larry

And this is an excellent example of the difference between an actual Thunderbird add-on, Quick Folder Key Navigation, and an NVDA add-on that works with Thunderbird (and Firefox), Mozilla Apps Enhancements.

I've been recommending the Quick Folder Key Navigation Thunderbird Add-On for any screen reader user of Thunderbird for years now.

Hey!, Thanks very much!

Its called quick folder key navigation.

You can get it here.

Gene,

I was referring to the NVDA addon, and I figured it out. Got the read and unread labels just where I want them.

Please, what is the precise name of the Thunderbird addon you mentioned?

Thanks,

Larry

Are you using the NVDA add-on?  the Thunderbird add-on, which you install in Thunderbird, not NVDA, does something else.  It allows for first letter navigation in the folders tree view.

If you are using the NVDA add-on, when you are in the message list, use NVDA key h to open the move headers dialog.

I just downloaded the Thunderbird addon for column arrangement and would like to know how to access it within Thunderbird client. Just the key stroke, I'll take it from there, or at least I hope that will be the case <smile>.


Thanks,

hello, yes i restarted my laptop and check if mouse button is locked and it is not locked. i also turned off  mouse tracking and tried but no fix. thanks for your suggestion 

hi thanks a lot for the suggestion but it didn't work.

What does it matter if it is?

There are often behind the scenes negotiations between the various players in the software world who are closely allied.  It's far preferable that this actually occur.  But there's nothing you can do about it, in any case.

The end goal is to have everything working together as it should, no matter what is done to accomplish that, by the time closely intertwined software hits the street with a new release.

Don,

You, and all members, need to understand that most commercial software makers, and quite a few of the non-commercial developers of NVDA software, are not, do not, and will not, be issuing add-ons compatible with any given NVDA version to the public until and unless it is a released version.

Using either alpha, or beta, software often means you will not have a number of the add-ons you are accustomed to having.  You sometimes won't even have them when the software reaches the Release Candidate stage or until shortly after the new release is actually released as the production version.

This add-on already has a testing version in the pipeline.  It's not going to be released to the general public until NVDA 2022.1 goes live as the production version.  If you must have this add-on, do not use alpha or beta software versions.  

If you need to have any specific add-on guaranteed to function with NVDA, do not use alpha or beta versions of NVDA.  I want this idea to become lodged in the craniums of each and every member of this group.  You simply cannot expect either alpha or beta versions of any given piece of software to have exactly the same overall support, particularly from third-party add-ons, as its production counterpart.  That virtually never happens.

The initial question was about getting a version of Bookworm that would work with NVDA, and not knowing whether there were old versions that might not, that question falls squarely into the mission of the NVDA group.

I appreciate all that everyone has done to help each other out as well, but that doesn't change the fact that virtually every ongoing Bookwork topic is about technical support for Bookworm itself, having no direct connection of any sort to NVDA.

Please take this conversation, and those of a similar nature, to the Chat Subgroup.  One of the reasons, and from history it seems to be the primary one, for its existence is to allow extended conversations about off-topic subjects among members of this community who wish to engage in same.  How to use Bookworm and how to get Bookworm to install is not NVDA related - it's about Bookworm.

I don't recall if you said what browser you are using.  Also, since you may well run across this problem again, solving the problem now may save you trouble in the future and in the future, you may not have the option you are asking for now.

Hi, I waited until today's release of NVDA 2022 Beta 4.

I use StartisBack as a replacement for the Windows menu.

Well in the beta versions of NVDA 2022 when I pull down the menu no and scroll it with arrows it tells me nothing.

Well if I switch to NVDA 2021.3.5 I have no problem, all menu items are verbalized without problem.

Well I leave you the two records of NVDA 2022 Beta 4 that gives an error and I leave also the information of the first item that only tells me selected and that belongs to the Notepad.

To say that it happens also with the disabled complements.

Does anyone know anything?

Thank you very much.

Some of the members in the group have been discussing these symptoms while editing and using arrow keys and not getting any speech output from nvdA

The only work around I have heard of is to change focus to something else and then come back to the edit field and you may restore the arrow key speech output

One example was while editing in word if you experience these symptoms you could hit the ALT key and then hit it again and come back to your edit and it could be restored

I hope this helps

Russ

So I got a message from Code Factory that the NVDA developers were going to make NVDA 2022.1 compatible with the Code Factory NVDA addon. I just tried to install the NVDA 2022.1 beta 4 and it still shows that the code Factory addon is not conpatible with the beta. Could someone please explain what is really going on?
Thanks

Have you tried restarting your computer? Could your mouse button be locked?
