So if you think you might have a multi-select situation at hand the safe way to know that everything is deselected is to hit CTRL+SPACE followed by CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE or vice versa.

I expect to see such commands documented when
moving threw menus and submenus. It should not be necessary for a skilled
user, who learns a lot about Windows and programs by looking through menus and
dialogs to have to look at a commands sheet when it is expected that accelerator
or shortcut commands will be shown in menus.
Also, material that I consider to be among the best
produced doesn't mention this command. I doubt that more than perhaps ten
or twenty percent of blind users know this command.

under Windows 10 I'm not surprised.Well, I still am. CTRL+SHIFT+N has been on Microsoft issued keyboard shortcuts lists for a very long time now. If you go to the Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows webpage, as it exists today, it shows up whether you choose All Products, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 from the dropdown for Product Version at the top of the page. They've also been calling these keyboard shortcuts for as long as I can remember now, but I do recall the "accelerator command" terminology in the mists of memory. I think that went out as of Windows XP, but can't be certain. It may have been with the introduction of Windows 7. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: transfor q using file zilla with nvda?
Gene
It appears to me that the status line doesn't
reflect progress properly. I don't recall what it doesn't do, at least in
my version, but I stopped using it shortly after I tried because the information
didn't match that in the other places where download information can be
seen.
I'm using an older version and that may not be true
in newer versions.

Re: Addint a Desktop Shortcut for Programs or Apps under Windows 10

I'm not surprised. I've used Windows since
about 1998 and I've done a good deal of learning using instructional
materials. I never saw that shortcut even in the very good material I
used. I heard about the command on an e-mail list
a number of months ago for the first time.
And the shortcut, or actually
accellerator command, isn't announced when you move to the item in the file
explorer menu.

under Windows 10 CTRL+SHIFT+N for new folder is as old as Windows itself. There are scads of keyboard shortcuts that any individual won't know about. I must admit, though, that this one is so frequently useful for a keyboard driven user that I'm shocked you hadn't been acquainted with it ages ago. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: Unable to read basic word document wit NVDA 2018.2RC2
Quentin Christensen
Hi Jessica, Can you please clarify exactly what is happening? IE, does Microsoft Word open? does it read anything about the file (the name in the Word titlebar for instance). Is there an error, or is NVDA totally silent, and if so, does using ALT+TAB to move to a different program do anything? Also, are you running an insider build of Office (or Windows?) And which version of NVDA are you running? Finally, while the answers to those questions may or may not give a clue, a copy of your NVDA log might help, particularly if you can restart NVDA with debug logging, then replicate the issue before sending me your log. Oh, and if you have recently updated NVDA or Windows, please try restarting the computer first as sometimes odd things creep in in-between updating and restarting. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Addint a Desktop Shortcut for Programs or Apps under Windows 10
Chris Mullins
Hi Brian Agreed, but you can also add many of the commands listed in the ribbons to the QAT as well. Press the applications key when located on a ribbon item and the first item in the context menu is add to Quick Access Toolbar. Because the QAT is so configurable, I didn’t want users to think that alt+numrow 2 was a File Explorer shortcut, particularly as I didn’t see anyone mention the actual file explorer shortcut for new folder which is alt+h, n.

Hi
There is an important bit missing in the instructions for creating shortcuts...
13. ARROW down to Create Shortcut, then press ENTER.
Should read ...

this would be a good idea. a warning saying that this will extract all files to the root of the said drive. but I would rather it created a folder buy default called nvda.

There are six functions one can check or uncheck to include on the Quick Access Toolbar: Undo, Redo, Delete, Properties, New Folder, Rename in that order from top to bottom. The order in which one checks the various items if all are unchecked determines which position number each will have, 1 through 6 [or whatever number you have checked] on the QAT visually and their invocation via ALT+number row 1 through 6. But, by default, and unless the system has been customized, ALT+2 should be New Folder. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

skype
Hi.
I didn't mean I will leave the email list just the dev group. As for what you are saying, I guess this shows you how much skype is a part of my life. Its not a big part of my life, it was before but most business is via phone and email. Right now bar family oversease I don't actually need skype and with them all being on whats app its easier for them to not bother with skype at all. I havn't spoken to contacts on skype for ages, hardly do it. I never used the skype featureset that well, so the fact that I have to learn a new set doesn't interest me right now may never do since my eventual plan is probably to go whats app eventually.

Re: Addint a Desktop Shortcut for Programs or Apps under Windows 10

The alt+numrow 2 is not a file explorer shortcut to create a new folder. It’s a shortcut to the second item on the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) and as this is user configurable, it could be anything. In my file explorer here in the UK, the QAT default set up is alt+numrow 1 to display properties and alt+numrow 2 to open a new folder but it may not necessarily be like this in other countries.
