Hi,
I am presently using a HP Laptop with a Wireless (not bluetooth)
keyboard. The keyboard is a Logitech K330 desktop keyboard.
Is there any reason why this shpuld not work with NVDA.

If your keyboard contains a numpad, the desktop layout will work if
the keyboard can be used in that way. The purpose of the laptop
layout is for use on keyboards without numpads. If short cut commands
don't work on your keyboard using the numpad, your keyboard may not be
compatible for thatkind of use. I have heard of instances where
wireless keyboards can't be used in this way. You can try the laptop
layout and see if those commands will work if you wish. If they
don't, you may want to ask here about wireless keyboards people use
and know are compatible using whatever keyboard choice you set in NVDA.

Hello William,


I'm definitely not an NVDA proficient user, but your last sentence made
me think.


Are you using a laptop, by any chance?


If so, you should set your keyboard layout to "Laptop"

(NVDA Menu - Keyboard settings), and then follow the list of commands
and keyboard shortcuts for laptops, rather than the one for desktops.


hth,

Ollie

Hi, I was just wondering two things. First, is it possible to move by
large chunks of text like paragraphs with nvda? Second, is it possible to
insert place markers into documents like you can with Jaws? Thx

Tony JAmes, untouched and alive!

hmmm if you go to codecguide.com and get the klite codec pack then it
should work.
it will have some adds but you can uncheck them.
also get vlc codecguide has this to.

Pawel,
it is possible to fix that via an addon I think. we need a regular
expression to cut the positional info from the menu item name when it gains
focus.
I agree that this is a bug because, menu items should not be exposed that
way.

Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,
Thanks for your reply. Thinking about the first issue with the
intelisense...
Since we are overwriting the control, can't we use the value of the
suggested completion and use NVDA's speech / braille functions to say
it / display it?

I think, we could also file a bug report to Microsoft and describe the
issue behind it.

Greetings,
Pawel

hello,
actually, writing an app module for visual studio is on my to do list.
regarding the problems you mentioned with Intelisense:
don't know if most users will find it better without announcing the
positional info of each possible completion menu item. the problem here
also is not NVDA, the problem is how the list / menu item is exposed.
the name of the menu item includes that positional info.
regarding second problem: yes, i think that it is better for us all to
not have that lengthy announcement after the completion list is closed.

Hi Jacob,
The add-on is hosted at Github at the following URL:

The devenv.py is invluded by default with NVDA.

The new project wizard is quite OK ofr me. I am using Windows 10
64-bit. Or maybe I am skipping some elements without knowing
they are
on the screen since NVDA is not getting them either.

I like VS for the Intelisense support, which is very convinient
in
comparason to Eclipse. You just start typing and get the list of
suggestions without dancing by pressing Control+Space as it
happens
with Eclipse.

Dear Group,
I am currently working using Visual Studio 2015 - the latest
update.
Since Microsoft introduced the Visual Studio Community edition,
which
used to be Professional edition, we got a very nice IDE.
There is an NVDA add-on, which is installed by default that
enhances
NVDA and VS interoperability.
The features are rather complete, but I found 2 issues:
1. When Intelisense with code suggestions popup is read, NVDA
keeps
reading the number of items in a edit combo / list, which can
get
very
annoying / flustrating.
--- What is the way using code to silence reading this
attribute?
NVDA
has the opption of not reading item possition information. Can
we
apply it to individual controls?

2. When leaving the previously mentioned Intelisense popup,
NVDA
keeps
reading the window type / title, which is way too verbose when
you
are
coding and keep jumping from the editor to Intelisense all the
time.
--- Can we control this from the add-on code?

I am not familiar with Python on the daily basis, but can find
someone
to fix the code or do it myself if the changes are minor and
can
simply follow the documentation and do little trial and error.

Thanks for any hints and tips,
Pawel

Goodness gracious, yall! Why not just use ITunes to rip for crying out loud! Is it mainly because ITunes doesn't support the formats you all wanna rip into? If so, then OK, point taken, but otherwise... really?
