Subject: [nvda] Sleep mode resolved
Hello friends,
This is to inform all that i finally got the sleep issue fixed,
I just made a new keyboard command from
Nvda shift z to nvda control a
So now, pressing nvda control a will put nvda to sleep for a specific
app/software
And Thank you so much to all who helped
I figure there may be a keyboard hardware issue blocking me from
executing the command,
Cheers,

But is a old feature. Reading the "whats new" file it was introduced in NVDA 2013.3. Personally, I awaited for that feature for many time (as I comented in other mail, I started to use NVDA at about 0.5) and I used it on the snapshots first... I never understood why NVDA has it disabled by default, but is one think that I enable first when I install NVDA.
Regards,
mk.

It is superficial reading or similar ("permitir lectura superficial" in spanish). If you enable that setting, you can press down arrow or up arrow when you're reading with say all, also if you use commands lyke control down arrow or up arrow you can move by paragraph.

Hi, All the foundations are here. The question then becomes, "who will do it". That's ultimately what will drive NVDA's development in majority of cases. Cheers, Joseph

Hi, Hmmm, it is a recent addition (not long ago I believe). I think not a lot of people know that NVDA does have alternate say all like what JAWS has now, and I gave numerous demos in the past. Cheers, Joseph

I found the setting. I almost never do
anything in that dialog and I didn't know about it. You don't use left and
right arrow, you use up and down arrow, the same keys you would use normally to
move up and down a line.

Hi, One of them is already here. In fact, you’ll find it in NVDA’s keyboard settings dialog. Cheers, Joseph

Hi, I had a Eloquence addon.
I've wasn't sure if this addon was a legal one, so i've removed it.
I've had it on here for awhile, but I'll be buying the sapi5 one from codefactory.

Hi, I think I've fix it for now.
NVDA 2017.4, Windows 8.1 64 bit.
I've took a look at all the addons I had installed, and removed a few of them.
Starting up windows, NVDA starts up now. after removing said add-ons.

Hi folks.
Every time I try to start up NVDA, I get a airer.
I've uninstalled/ reinstalled, but I still get the same thing.
Even when windows starts up, the sound plays, but nvda still gives and airer.
Narrator reads, airer nvda.exe ok.
I get nothing about checking the nvda log.
