Hi,

From what I can find on the net, XP and Vista users will be using 52 ESR and that’s it.

Cheers,

Joseph

Re: NVDA and Microsoft edge

Gene New Zealand <hurrikennyandopo@...>
 

Hi David


Out of curiosity with edge and windows 10, are you using a insider build of windows 10 or just the anniversary version of windows 10?


Also with nvda which version is it the stable 2016.4 release or a master?


I know when i go into it it depends if the stable version is used it is rather laggy and when i use the master version  it is a bit quicker.


is it the same for you as well or is it alot quicker?


but i know each time i go in every now and again you can see the improvements though, they are doing a good job at making it more usable.


I was just wondering if it might be the portable version been updated all the time doing it? I do it once a week to see what is coming up in the master snapshots for the next version of windows.

Hi


When i tried it it didn not like my pc much. I do not know if it was windows 10 doing it, but i had troubles even trying to get a dvd to play. it also seemed laggy etc, but will have a better sus over the next few days. But not tomorrow as it will be christmas day in less then 7.30 hours, maybe you could call that midnight.


I would be curious to see if others got the same results. for some reason i peeked on getting a error message from my dvd player.

 Er, no.  It was by far and away Microsoft's most popular and long-lived GUI style.  All one needs to do is read the comments on Microsoft's Windows 10 feedback app as well as the technical press around the time of the introductions of both Windows 8 and Windows 10 to see how strongly users lamented the passing of Aero Glass.  There are aspects of it, but not the ones that I liked most, that were even reintroduced into the versions of Windows 10 subsequent to the first one because people demanded them back.

Re: starting NVDA

Chris Mullins
 

On a UK keyboard, the left alt is labelled ‘Alt’ and the right alt key is labelled ‘Alt Gr’.  For touch typists, pressing ‘Alt Gr’ with the right hand is equivalent to pressing Alt+Ctrl with the left hand.  For example, I have a desktop shortcut  to MS Word with a shortcut key property of Ctrl+Alt+w.  Pressing Alt Gr+w will open me a new Word document.  There used to be two alt keys on UK keyboards but new machines  started to appear with the ‘Alt Gr’ key maybe late eighties/early nineties.

I think you are wrong as my machines always generate control/alt on the
iight alt key but alt alone on the left one.
The only difference I was noting was that on XP it seems to be possible to
create two shortcuts with the same operating keys, whereas later on I think
its not. Could of course be the result of a setting that causes this, but
its going to be a windows setting not an nvda one.

Shortcuts don't distinguish between which alt key is used in creating a
shortcut command.  Control alt and letter or number will work with either
control alt combination no matter how you create the command.  That's true
of XP as well.  There are times when something distinguishes between right
and left alt.  Such cases must be rare since I've never come a cross a
command that does.

I think it does this on 7 as well. It actually makes it easier as the right

In addition, if you happen to be installing or reinstalling NVDA the option
to create this shortcut is a part of the installation process.

I hadn't realized, and I don't know if it's the same under earlier versions
of Windows or not, but under Win10 once you're in the shortcut tab of
properties, all you need to type in the shortcut key field is the letter N
if you want CTRL+ALT+N to be the shortcut. No matter what character I type
Win10 is prepopulating the CTRL+ALT+ part of the shortcut and you cannot
delete it. If you backspace out the character you've typed it removes the
CTRL+ALT+ part of the shortcut automatically too.
