True, the only way someone would know them keys is if you used a accounting calculator, because the num pad is laid out the same key pattern. That is why you see the same key pattern on standard 104 k

My apology, I should have said it invokes the find feature, not invokes control+F. Although, my point in that side comment holds, I think--NVDA+Control+F, no matter which NVDA modifier you use, does i

Also, consider that for someone withh movement problems, using NVDA key f may cause problems. I agree with Luke but I would put it a different way. It is ideology triumphing over what works well, has

Hi, In focus mode, Control+NVDA+F "appears" to invoke Control+F - that's because whatever key that's assigned to NVDA key is passed straight to the app/document you are interacting; for example, if In

Luke, this is very well put. I don’t think I would have been able to explain all the technical stuff that you did just now, but I won hundred percent agree with the basic premise of your post.

[.] Which raises the obvious question: is the browser find command's search feature "working well" from NVDA's prospective? Most people probably think it doesn't, because in browse mode it has no effe

No. You aren't working directly with the web page when you are in browse mode, also called by JAWS the virtual PC cursor. The text is in a buffer. You use the browse mode search because it searches th

I was totally blind in high school in the early '80s! I learned then, that the Slash and star keys Ment divide or multiply! I don't remember how, either someone told me, but I did a lot of calculation

Evidently, you are saying you don't find a combo box or any structure corresponding to those lines. That's what I wanted to clarify. Your talk of using page down or enter and page down is confusing be

I see no reason to believe I am unique. I took a good training course, I looked at screen-reader documentation in the late nineties when I was first learning Windows, and I didn't have the slash and s

Nope. I don't even bother learning it. Right now due to my brain issue I tend to forget as soon as I'm told, and I have to repeat things probably 20 or 30 times until I get it. But I'm one who will ju

Hi Sandra Activate Browse mode by using the toggle, NVDA + space. Press NVDA + D )(for delta) from within the table. Cheers Ben

Ok, I just hope you can teach the other keyboard style as well. Even the notebook I use sometimes has a numpad.

I have. I hate it. It was on a desktop in 2009 or so. I turned off desktop nav and used laptop layout as for me it is much much faster. My hands get tired easily so if I don't have to move them a lot,

Hello, When I create a table in Microsoft word, provide an alternative text and a description in the table properties, NVDA will announce the alternative Text as I navigate to the table and it will al

Hi, Brian might be able to answer this one better, but to screen readers, all they care about app shortcuts is the ability of follow-up actions to provide useful and interpretable data (focus events,
