Re: python text editors
Jaffar Sidek
There is an eclipse branch of the Python editor called Leclipse.
It has no official support from NVDA but is as accessible as
notepad in many ways because it is built off Eclipse, the official
Java based IDE for Java and many more programming languages.
Cheers!

Re: NVDA+Outlook, and number of new messages
David Griffith
If you are talking about Jaws I have to use the same techniques as below using Jaws 2020 and Outlook subscription version to find out the number of unread emails. In other words it is the same as NVDA now unless there is a command in Jaws I am not aware of. I was only an occasional user of Window Eyes so I do not know if this was a feature it had.

Many thanks, Cearbhall, for that tip. The screen reader I have been using for years displays such information right away when I open Outlook. I guess I will have to do some learning when switching to NVDA as my primary screen reader.

Cordelia,
Close all open emails and make sure that your cursor is resting on any closed message in the current folder. Press control+Shif+tab to opens the "Folder List". NVDA announces "Folder List minimised". Press space bar to expand the list. Arrow down to the folder you want. Note that NVDA speaks the number of messages contained in the folder after giving the folder name.
You can also open the Folder List by using control+y but this view of the list does not show the number of emails contained in each folder.
All the best,

Hi:
I am looking for a method in NVDA to determine the number of new messages arriving in Outlook's in-box, spam folder, and junk mail. Does NVDA offer such info without my having to arrow up and down each list in each folder? Thanks.

I thought it was the wrong thread but it is the

them are irrelevant.
There are two Opera messages in the thread. I
thought you had replied in an opera thread, since the opera messages are

I just tested using Chrome and the current version
of NVDA. I don't hear title. But I do hear "clickable" before every
heading in the web results is read. I'm
talking about the web results, where all these headings are links to
results.
Also, if I down arrow, then up arrow back to the
link, "clickable" isn't spoken. If I up arrow, then down arrow to the
link, it is.
I'm using default settings. I don't know how
long this behavior has been occurring. Usually, I have clickable not set
to be spoken.

----- Original Message -----
My normal way of using Google Chrome is to enter my search data and hit enter. Then I use the h key to move by header to each of the results. Noticing today that when I now do this NVDA says title before each search result when I hit the h key. Never noticed this before. Did I somehow change this to cause NVDA to say title?

Re: How can I make a shortcut on the desktop?
Given that several browsers now use drag and drop to create desktop shortcuts, I tell people to use this method, which is more complicated than what one can use in browsers that have a "create shortcut" function, but that is entirely browser agnostic.
1. Get to the address box for the page for which you wish to create the shortcut, do a CTRL+A to make sure it's selected, then CTRL+C to Copy. 2. Go to the Windows desktop via WinKey+D, then hit SHIFT+F10 to bring up the context menu. 3. Find the New item, Shortcut subitem (very often hitting W followed by S immediately after the context menu appears will do this, and open the Shortcut dialog). 4. In the text box labeled, "Type the location of the item," paste the URL you copied in step one, then activate the Next button. 5. In the box labeled, "Type a name for this shortcut," enter whatever you wish to have it called on the Desktop. Activate the OK button. You now have a shortcut on your desktop that will use your default web browser to open that web page. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: the opera browser
Gene
I should also add, for clarity and accuracy that
until now, everyone has been telling you how to copy text. If the link
said click here, people have been describing how to select and copy those words
to the clipboard. What you are discussing, copy link location, is a
completely different command and a lot of browsers have it in the ccontext
menu. for those who may not know, it copies the actual address which the
link leads to.
If the link text says Microsoft site, for example,
and you use copy link location, you will get the address of the Microsoft site,
where the link leads.

You are using shift f10. That brings up the
context menu and there is a command to copy link location in the Firefox context
menu. I just tried shift f9 and it toggles developer tools on and off in
Firefox.
You are discussing the same thing as someone else,
how to bring up the context menu. I described a method that may work
but we'll see

Announcement of Tracked Changes in Word
Hi all,
I don't often use tracked changes in Word but needed to on a placement with a publisher back in May and I did again recently. I don't have any trouble making edits with tracked changes on, but is there any way to get NVDA to announce ‘Tracked Changes On’ when the shortcut keystroke Press control+shift+e is pressed to turn them on or off, the way that ‘Bold on’ / ‘bold off’, ‘italic on’ and ‘italic off’ are activated with control+b and control+i? It'd be handy to know whether tracked changes were on before typing, especialy if you start editing a docuemnt in the morning, then break for lunch and resume editing ... yes, you can type something but, if tracked changes are indeed already on and you stop to check whether the word you just typed has been registered as a change, then the next thing you type counts as a second tracked change rather than part of the first one. Thanks :) Giles

Re: python text editors
Recommendations for text editors that are both Python and NVDA friendly are just fine on the main group, as is discussion of any NVDA setting(s) to make the two things "play well together."
Any deep dives into using a specific editor with NVDA, which will focus on that text editor rather than NVDA, should be taken to the Chat Subgroup. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: NVDA and google chrome
Don,
What search engine are you using? I have noticed recently that my personal favorite, DuckDuckGo, has revised the format of its search results in a way that makes even selecting something with the mouse far more difficult/frustrating. It's up to those coding the search engines how they choose to present the results, and something might have been tweaked. I can't say this for certain, though. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide

Re: the opera browser
Hello All,
It's time for this topic to come to a close. I've used Opera, and like it, but it's just another among many Chromium-based web browsers, and since NVDA and other screen readers have long ago become proficient at working with Chromium then any browser based upon same tends to be completely or very nearly completely (if they've done a few odd bits) accessible. But the topic strayed far away from anything that can be even vaguely considered as NVDA-centric quite a while ago. Please take this to the Chat Subgroup if anyone wishes to extend the conversation. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 The color of truth is grey. ~ André Gide
